abstract="OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between psychosocial working factors such as job control, job demands, job insecurity, supervisor support, and workplace bullying as risk factors for suicide ideation. <br><br>METHODS: We used a logistic analytic approach to assess risk factors for thoughts of suicide in a cross-sectional sample of working Australians. Potential predictors included psychosocial job stressors (described above); we also controlled for age, gender, occupational skill level, and psychological distress. <br><br>RESULTS: We found that workplace bullying or harassment was associated with 1.54 greater odds of suicide ideation (95% confidence interval 1.64 to 2.05) in the model including psychological distress. <br><br>RESULTS also suggest that higher job control and security were associated with lower odds of suicide ideation. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest the need for organizational level intervention to address psychosocial job stressors, including bullying.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
