The Effects of Negative Affectivity, Hierarchical Status, and Self-Determination on Workplace Victimization
研究发现，高消极情感和低自我决定感的员工更容易感到自己成为同事攻击的目标，且高层级地位能缓冲消极情感对间接受害的影响。
This study investigated the conditions under which employees are more or less likely to become targets of coworkers’ aggressive actions. Results from a field survey showed people high in negative affectivity more often perceived themselves as victims, as did people who were low in the self-determination component of empowerment. In addition, hierarchical status appeared to buffer the influence of negative affectivity: Negative affectivity was not related to indirect victimization for higher-status people but was positively related to indirect victimization for lower-status people.
