Abstract
Unethical behaviours have a wide-ranging negative influence in the workplace, including adverse effects on individuals who witness or are subjected to such acts. While research has explored the effects of various misbehaviours on employee well-being, this study draws from ethical impact theory and utilizes data from a panel sample of business professionals to examine the relationship between unethical work polyvictimisation, encompassing varied misbehaviours, and aggregated individual well-being and work stress. Most of the hypotheses were supported, with results indicating that unethical work polyvictimisation was negatively related to two conceptualisations of well-being. Unethical work polyvictimisation was also positively related to work stress, which functioned as a mediator and was negatively related to well-being. The findings suggest that organisations should reduce incidences of polyvictimisation to improve employee well-being and decrease their work stress.
期刊介绍：
Stress is a normal component of life and a number of mechanisms exist to cope with its effects. The stresses that challenge man"s existence in our modern society may result in failure of these coping mechanisms, with resultant stress-induced illness. The aim of the journal therefore is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of stress which affect the individual in both health and disease.
The Journal explores the subject from as many aspects as possible, so that when stress becomes a consideration, health information can be presented as to the best ways by which to minimise its effects.
