This study examines the behavioural, individual and contextual variables that are expected to impact the perceived severity of workplace bullying behaviour. It also identifies the toxic behaviour involved in interacting with workplace bullying for the employees at AlHakim General Hospital in Iraq. Thus, to find the psychological symptoms associated with the related behaviours, the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) was used. Based on the analysis, the findings indicated that the severity and classification of workplace bullying behaviours had been influenced by the toxic behaviours involved through the characteristics of the employee who is subjected to those behaviours. The analysis conducted in this research also indicated that the behaviours that were personally harnessed from the corresponding target were more severe and frequent than other categories of behaviour. Finally, having an appropriate organisational system is of great importance to guarantee high performance in the organisation
It is known as intimidation or harassment (known in English as bullying if it is in the school environment; in the workplace it would be mobbing; but it can also be through telematic means -cyberbullying- and a wide etcetera) when a person or group repeatedly hurts someone on purpose. It can be physical, social and / or verbal. It is always harmful to both victims and stalkers, and it always involves aggressive behavior.
Criminally - since, at least in the European Union it is classified as a crime - the Spanish Supreme Court typifies it saying that "The Supreme Court defines intimidation by stating that" it is constituted by the announcement of an immediate, serious, personal and possible evil that it awakens or inspires in the offended person a feeling of fear, anguish or unease in the face of the contingency of real or imaginary damage ".
Workplace bullying can be misbehavior or mistreatment from one person to other. When these behaviors are frequent and prolonged, it causes negative consequences on the targeted individuals. Some researchers suggests even one such behavior can be termed as bullying. But most of the researchers agree that prolonged repeated mistreatment can be termed as bullying.
