- Abstract
This study examined the effects of workplace bullying on facades of conformity in the work domain and on work–family conflict in the family domain. In this research, workplace bullying is seen as a reality in organizations, and this study considers individuals' judgments concerning various features of their workplace situations. Employees' experiences of workplace bullying influence their creation of facades of conformity and crosses over to influence their partners' family life through psychological strain. Psychological strain mediates the influence of workplace bullying on facades of conformity and on partners' work–family life. A total of 569 employee–partner dyads from a large plastics corporation in Taiwan demonstrated significant relationships between workplace bullying and its outcomes at work and at home. The results of this study demonstrate that psychological strain is an important mechanism between workplace bullying and its consequences, both at work and at home. A time-lag study design and two different sources (i.e., employees and their married partners) were utilized to reduce common method bias in this study. The main theoretical and practical implications of the findings for future research are discussed.
