@article{ref1, title="Workplace mobbing and effects on workers' health", journal="Spanish journal of psychology", year="2008", author="Meseguer de Pedro, Mariano and Soler Sánchez, María Isabel and Sáez Navarro, María Concepción and García Izquierdo, Mariano", volume="11", number="1", pages="219-227", abstract="In this work, we analyze various consequences of the phenomenon of mobbing on the health of a work sector with special characteristics: the agro fruit sector. For this purpose, we collected data from a sample of 396 workers (61 men and 331 women) belonging to this sector in the Region of Murcia (Spain). A questionnaire with the following measurement instruments was administered: a Spanish adaptation of the revised Negative Acts Questionnaire (Sáez, García, & Llor, 2003), the Psychosomatic Problems Questionnaire (Hock, 1988), and a measure of absenteeism. The results revealed a significant and positive relation between workplace mobbing and psychosomatic symptoms, but not with absenteeism. The implications of the results for future research are discussed.
