Abstract

Workplace bullying is quite prevalent and has been linked to many health complaints. The relationship between workplace bullying and fatigue was documented in previous studies. However, knowledge on how this relationship develops with the interplaying factors of spirituality and gender was not investigated before especially among schoolteachers. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between workplace bullying and fatigue as moderated by spirituality and gender among schoolteachers in Lebanon. This is a cross-sectional study, where 215 schoolteachers aged 18 till 64 and employed for a minimum of 6 months were recruited through systematic sampling. Six private and six public schools in Beirut participated in the study. Online questionnaires using validated scales were used. Both simple and multiple ordinal logistic regression were performed for the statistical analysis. Results showed that workplace bullying is a predictor of fatigue with an odds ratio of 2.74 and p-value 0.008. Gender was found to be an effect modifier for this relationship, mainly among females (OR 2.66, p-value 0.047) but not among males. Anxiety and depression also predicted higher levels of fatigue (OR 5.75, p-value 0.017). Spirituality did not moderate this relationship.

职场欺凌对学校教师疲劳的影响：性别和精神的调节作用。

职场霸凌现象相当普遍，并与许多健康投诉有关。职场欺凌和疲劳之间的关系在以前的研究中有记载。然而，关于这种关系如何与精神和性别的互动因素发展的知识以前没有被调查过，尤其是在学校教师中。本研究的目的是探索黎巴嫩教师中受精神和性别调节的职场欺凌和疲劳之间的关系。这是一项横断面研究，共有215名年龄在18岁至64岁之间的教师受雇于至少6年月通过系统抽样招募。贝鲁特的六所私立学校和六所公立学校参加了这项研究。使用经验证的量表进行在线问卷调查。采用简单和多元有序逻辑回归进行统计分析。结果表明，职场欺凌是疲劳的预测因素，比值比为2.74，p值为0.008。性别被发现是这种关系的影响因素，主要在女性中（OR 2.66，p值0.047），但在男性中没有。焦虑和抑郁也预示着更高程度的疲劳（OR 5.75，p值0.017）。精神并没有调节这种关系。

期刊介绍： Libyan Journal of Medicine (LJM) is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, international medical journal aiming to promote heath and health education by publishing high-quality medical research in the different disciplines of medicine. LJM was founded in 2006 by a group of enthusiastic Libyan medical scientists who looked at the contribution of Libyan publications to the international medical literature and saw that a publication outlet was missing. To fill this gap they launched LJM as a tool for transferring current medical knowledge to and from colleagues in developing countries, particularly African countries, as well as internationally.The journal is still led by a group of Libyan physicians inside and outside Libya, but it also enjoys support and recognition from the international medical community.
