Objectives:To investigate the association between workplace bullying and change of job/unemployment, and to investigate whether psychological stress reactions constitute a potential pathway linking workplace bullying and change of job/unemployment.Methods:We used questionnaire data on workplace bullying and psychological stress reactions and register data on change of job/unemployment. We applied a multiple pathway approach to estimate the proportion of the association between workplace bullying and subsequent change of job/unemployment that was potentially mediated by psychological stress reactions.Results:Workplace bullying was associated with risk of change of job (odds ratio [OR]=1.35; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-1.72; 24% potentially mediated by psychological stress reactions) and unemployment (OR=4.90; 95% CI: 3.18-7.55; 19% potentially mediated by psychological stress reactions).Conclusion:Workplace bullying has important consequences for labor market outcomes. Psychological stress reactions may play a vital role in this process.
