Working Environment 2005: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour

This dataset stems from the survey "Working Environment 2005: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour". The survey was conducted by Statistics Norway and commissioned by 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 the subsequent survey was conducted in 2007. 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《2005年工作环境：职场破坏性行为》调研项目。该调研由挪威统计局执行，卑尔根大学社会心理学系委托开展。本次调研旨在厘清挪威职场中职场欺凌（bullying）与破坏性行为的发生规模，其中欺凌行为的起源、成因与后果是调研力图阐明的核心议题。研究通过分析挪威雇员对自身工作、社会职场环境以及与同事和管理者的互动感知来实现研究目标，核心目的是深化对职场环境对个体健康、福祉与人格影响的认知。此外，本次调研还将量化挪威职场中各类破坏性行为的发生程度，涵盖性骚扰、职场冲突、破坏性领导行为以及欺凌行为，同时涉及职场举报（whistle-blowing）的范围与后果相关议题。
本调研采用追踪面板（panel）设计，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年实施，第二轮调研于2007年完成，目前规划于2010年开展第三轮即最终轮调研。本次调研选择在六年内的三个不同时间点追踪同一批受访者，旨在观察上述研究议题随时间推移的发展变化。
