Working Environment 2007: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour

This dataset stems from the survey "Working Environment 2007: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour". The survey was conducted by Statistics Norway and commissioned by Bergen Bullying Research Group and Department of Sociopsychology at the University of Bergen. The purpose of the survey is to map out the extent of bullying and destructive behaviour in Norwegian work situations. The origin, cause and consequences of bullying are important issues that the survey seek to elucidate. That is done by examining Norwegian employees' perception of their work, their social working environment and the interaction with colleagues and leaders. The objective is to improve our understanding of the effect the working environment has on individuals' health, well-being and personality. The surveys also gives a measure of the extent of different types of destructive behaviour in Norwegian work places (sexual harassment, conflicts and destructiv leadership as well as bullying). Furthermore, the scope and consequences of whistle-blowing are touched upon.

The survey has panel characteristics and will be conducted three times over a period of six years - 2005-2010. First time the survey was conducted was in 2005 and there are plans to follow up with the third and final survey in 2010. The reason for following the same persons at three different points of time over a period of six years is to observe development over time regarding the above-mentioned research questions.

本数据集源自题为《2007年工作环境：与工作相关的破坏性行为》的调查。该调查由挪威统计局（Statistics Norway）实施，委托方为卑尔根欺凌研究小组（Bergen Bullying Research Group）与卑尔根大学社会心理学系（Department of Sociopsychology at the University of Bergen）。本次调查旨在厘清挪威职场中欺凌与破坏性行为的发生规模，而欺凌的起源、成因与后果则是本次调查试图阐释的核心议题。本次研究通过考察挪威雇员对自身工作、职场社会环境以及与同事和领导者的互动感知来实现上述目标，以期深化对工作环境对个体健康、福祉与人格所产生影响的认知。本调查还可量化挪威职场中各类破坏性行为的发生程度，涵盖性骚扰、人际冲突、破坏性领导行为及欺凌行为；此外还涉及职场举报（whistle-blowing）的范畴与后果。
本调查具备面板追踪特性，计划在2005至2010年的六年周期内开展三轮调研：首轮调研于2005年完成，目前规划将在2010年实施第三轮即最终轮次的追踪调查。本次研究选取同一批受访者在六年内的三个时间节点开展追踪，目的是针对前述研究议题观察其随时间推移的变化趋势。
