摘要

The past three to four decades have provided solid evidence that workplace bullying can be a severe stressor with the potential to impact the mental and physiological health as well as the well-being of victims. The aim of this study was to highlight the effects of workplace bullying by focusing on individual outcomes (turnover intentions and commitment). Drawing on the self-determination theory, a model tested the mediating role of need satisfaction between workplace bullying, organizational justice, and affective commitment and turnover intentions. The data were collected in the Hauts-de-France region (France) from 312 employees across various companies. Correlation results and mediation analyses confirmed our hypotheses. Overall, the findings of this study support the idea that satisfying basic psychological needs promotes optimal functioning and contributes to an individual's psychological well-being. Practical and research implications are discussed.
