Abstract
Workplace Bullying has destructive costs for individual victims, teams, and
organisations; therefore, it is significant to investigate the factors that might
instigate this behaviour at the workplace, along with severe consequences.This
research proposes the significance of individual contingency differences in
perceptions of being targets of workplace bullying and resulting post traumatic
stress. Current Study covers the instrumental climate and person-situation view
by a combined study of the mediating role of workplace bullying in linking
instrumental climate with job stress and the moderating role of type A
personality trait in influencing the mediation. A sample of 298 employees was
selected, and this study tested a moderated mediation model. Results were
significant with the hypothesised model, in that type A behaviour moderating
between instrumental climate and all types of workplace bullying.Similarly,type
“A” personality moderates between two types of job stress and workplace
bullying relationships. However, there is no mediation found between
instrumental climate and job stress through workplace bullying.
