Ostracism and aggression

Ostracism and aggression data file also contains the moderator and mediator with demographic variables. The data was collected from the permanent employees working in both the manufacturing and service industries of Pakistan. The respondents were the alumni of three business schools and recruited through their connections, i.e., the snowball sampling technique. The primary inclusion criterion for the respondents was the minimum tenure of one year with the current organization. This period is selected to provide sufficient time before recording the responses of employees to workplace ostracism. We collected the time-lagged data through a self-administered online survey at two points in time. In the first-stage (t1), demographic information, workplace ostracism, and neuroticism were rated. The participants indicated the frequency with which they faced workplace rejection experiences in the current organization during the last month. As AET proposes, a particular work event will lead to emotional reaction; therefore, the second-stage (t2) was conducted three days after the first survey; the employees reported their hurt feelings and rated their overt aggression and covert aggression.本职场排斥与攻击数据集同时包含调节变量、中介变量及人口统计学变量。本数据集采集自巴基斯坦制造业与服务业的全职雇员，受访者均为三所商学院的校友，通过人际网络招募，即采用滚雪球抽样法。受访者的核心入选标准为：在当前任职单位的司龄至少满一年。设置该时长要求的目的是为雇员记录职场排斥（workplace ostracism）相关感受预留充足的前置时间。本研究通过两轮线上自主填写问卷采集时滞数据。在第一阶段（t1），调研收集了人口统计学信息、职场排斥与神经质人格得分，参与者报告了过去一个月内，在当前任职单位遭遇职场排斥经历的频率。正如情感事件理论（Affective Events Theory, AET）所提出的，特定工作事件会引发情绪反应；因此，第二阶段调研（t2）于首轮问卷发放三天后开展，雇员报告了自身的受伤害感受，并对其外显攻击与内隐攻击行为进行评分。
