This study investigated the impact of cyberbullying victimization at work on well-being and strain in the workplace. This is the first study to use a longitudinal approach to research cyberbullying at work. A nationally representative sample of Finnish workers (n = 768) took part in a five-wave survey study. Both within-person and between-person effects were analyzed using hybrid regression models showing that experiencing cyberbullying at work leads to psychological distress, technostress, work exhaustion, and decreased work engagement. The effects of remote work and social media use were also explored. These results confirm that cyberbullying at work can have damaging consequences for victims and, consequently, for whole organizations. Thus, it constitutes a significant problem that employers must confront.

本研究调查了工作中的网络欺凌受害对工作场所的幸福感和压力的影响。这是第一项使用纵向方法研究工作中的网络欺凌的研究。具有全国代表性的芬兰工人样本 ( n  = 768) 参加了一项五波调查研究。使用混合回归模型分析了人与人之间的影响，表明在工作中经历网络欺凌会导致心理困扰、技术压力、工作疲惫和工作投入减少。还探讨了远程工作和社交媒体使用的影响。这些结果证实，工作中的网络欺凌会对受害者造成破坏性后果，进而对整个组织造成破坏。因此，它构成了雇主必须面对的一个重大问题。
