Vrublevskaja, I. (2024). The significance of organizational factors and psychological capital on harassment experience and well-being of police staff. Vilnius, Vilnius university, p. 64. Organizational and individual factors (e.g. psychological capital) may play a role in the harassment experience, but their importance for the perception of harassment is not the same. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the significance of organizational factors and personal characteristics - psychological capital - on the harassment experienced by police staff and to reveal the factors that are important for the well-being of police staff. Disclosure of these factors would allow planning preventive and interventional measures that reduce the prevalalence of harassment among police employees. 147 police employees participated in the study (82 women, 63 men, 2 research participants did not specify their gender). Police staff age ranged from 20 to 58 years (M = 39.8, SD = 9.7). Methods are used: Organizational Bullying Risk Factors Scale (Gamian – Wilk, 2018), Short Version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire (Notelaers et al., 2018), Psychological Capital Scale (Lorenz et al., 2016), World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5). This study revealed that organizational factors were significance predictor of workplace harassment among police staff and there was a negative correlation between organizational factors and harassment experience, while employee psychological capital didn‘t predict harassment at work. Higher employee psychological capital is important for higher employee well-being. |
