Rasgos de personalidad y autoestima en víctimas de acoso laboral / Personality features and self-esteem in job relentless persecution victims

RESUMEN

La investigación describe las conductas de acoso psicológico laboral, rasgos de personalidad y autoestima de personas que han denunciado acoso laboral ante instancias legales. Participaron cuatro mujeres, entre 45 y 57 años de edad, con tiempo de vinculación mayor a 15 años en organizaciones públicas. Se aplicó el cuestionario Lipt-60, la prueba BFQ, la escala de autoestima de Rosenberg y una entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados reflejan la presencia de acoso psicológico laboral vertical descendente, cada caso es diferente al no presentar semejanzas en las acciones hostigadoras percibidas y difieren en la intensidad y frecuencia de las estrategias utilizadas por el acosador hacia la víctima. En los rasgos de personalidad todos los casos presentan puntuaciones bajas en afabilidad y estabilidad emocional.

ABSTRACT

The current research aims at describing behaviors dealing with the job psychological relentless persecution as well as features of personality and self-esteem in people who have been victims and have been able to accuse this complex issue in front of legal instances. The participants were four women aged between forty-five and fifty-seven years old, with time of entailment over fifteen years, at public organizations. The research instruments applied were the Lipt-60 questionnaire, the BFQ test, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and a semi-structured interview, too. The outcomes clearly reflect the presence of descending-vertical job psychological relentless persecution; each case is different from the other since they do not show similarities in the harassing actions and are also different regarding the intensity and the frequency of the strategies used by the pursuer towards the victim. Finally, in regard to the personality features, all cases present low fluctuations of affability and emotional stability.
