Abstract :

This paper presents a study that was conducted at a private hospital at the vicinity of Ankara and examined bullying among the health staff, the individual and interactive effects of bullying on the work performance, job satisfaction, turnover intention of the employees. It has been determined that there is a positive correlation between the workplace bullying behaviours exerted to the individuals and turnover intention whereas a negative correlation was observed between the workplace bullying and work performance, as it has been anticipated. In addition, a negative correlation was determined between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Within the content of this study, path analysis modelling which is considered applicable among the structural equation modelling (SEM) types-aimed at studying the relationship grid among the observed variables is used to test the proposed hypotheses on this subject. The values defined as Goodness of Fit Indices provide with the decision of the acceptability of each model as a whole by the data. The findings obtained under the scope of the analysis have demonstrated that the factor structure in general sense is within the acceptable limits.
