Abstract

The rationale of this research study is to inspect about variations in employee performance and employee engagement in Pakistani context brought about by the workplace bullying. Another objective is to produce comprehensive empirical evidence of bullying in the specific Pakistani context. The purpose of paper is to examine whether emotional exhaustion plays a mediating role between workplace bullying, employee performance and employee engagement. Even most of the organizations are unaware about this critical issue to curtail down its effect. A cross-sectional design is used in the research study, which focuses on emotional exhaustion that serves as a mediator between workplace bullying and employee performance and employee engagement. The paper is based upon cross-sectional and self-reported survey research design. Furthermore longitudinal research design is recommended for future investigation of the relationships among these constructs. Consolidated policies must be sought by the management to combat with the vicious prevalence of workplace bullying. This will not only encourage the conducive work environment but also ensure positive work climate among employees.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
