abstract="Workplace bullying are prevalent among the nursing workforce. Consequences of workplace bullying include psychological stress and workplace accidents and  injuries. Psychological hardiness is proposed as a buffer for workplace bullying and  psychological stress on workplace accidents and injuries. This study adopted the  Affective Events Theory and Conservation of Resources Theory to develop and test a  moderated mediated model in two field studies. Study 1 (N = 286, Australian nurses)  found support for the direct negative effect of workplace bullying on workplace  accidents and injuries with psychological stress acting as the mediator. The  mediation findings from Study 1 were replicated in Study 2 (N = 201, New Zealand  nurses). In addition, Study 2 supplemented Study 1 by providing empirical support  for using psychological hardiness as the buffer for the association between  psychological stress and workplace accidents and injuries. This study offers  theoretical and empirical insights into the research and practice on psychological  hardiness for improving the psychological well-being of employees who faced  workplace mistreatments.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
