Nothing personal, it's the organization! Links between organizational culture, workplace bullying, and affective commitment.

Extensive attention in organizational research has been dedicated to workplace bullying, primarily focusing on its frequency and impact on both the victim and the bully, emphasizing interpersonal dynamics.

Utilizing data from two surveys ( = 650 in 2012 and  = 553 in 2017), the study reveals that dimensions of organizational culture, such as assertiveness, performance orientation, and ingroup collectivism significantly influence work-related workplace bullying.
