Political climate and workplace cyberbullying perpetration: a multilevel moderated mediation model
Studies exploring the situational antecedents of WCB perpetration are scarce, particularly at the organizational level. We proposed and tested a multilevel model of WCB perpetration indicating that political climate leads individuals to engage in WCB perpetration directly as well as indirectly through its impact on psychological contract violation. We outline a number of practical implications and suggest future research directions.
