What Goes Around Comes Around: How Perpetrators of Workplace Bullying Become Targets Themselves KU Leuven
In this study, we investigated whether and how perpetrators of bullying become targets themselves. Building on the notion of bullying as an escalation process and the Conservation of Resources Theory, we hypothesized that following enactment of bullying, people would experience increased relationship conflicts with colleagues, diminishing their sense of control and making them more likely to become exposed to bullying themselves. We tested this ...

In this paper, we wanted to test the reciprocal nature of bullying behaviour over time and potential moderators of this ...
