Resumen

Research on workplace bullying has traditionally been focused on work-related stressorsand contextual factors as antecedent conditions. However, the association between organizational factors and bullying is complex and several personality characteristics and individual factors may act as moderators of this relationship (Einarsen, 2000). In order to contrast it, two empirical studies were conducted to examine the moderating role of personality in the process of workplace bullying. In the first study the sample consisted of 120 Latin-American immigrants. According to the initial hypothesis, the results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that assertiveness moderated the relationship between the organizational antecedent of inequity at work and bullying. The second study was conducted among 183 victims of bullying. Results showed that social anxiety and assertiveness moderated the relationship between bullying and its effects on health. Furthermore, gender differences were found in health complaints as a consequence of bullying.
