Impact of Workplace Bullying on Work Performance Moderated by Loneliness: A Case study of Indonesia Authors M Fachri Hidayat Institute of Technology Bandung, Indonesia Dr. Henndy Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia DOI: https://doi.org/10.47505/IJRSS.2022.V3.6.1 Keywords: Loneliness, Psychisocial, Well being, Workplace Bullying, Work Performance Abstract The issue of bullying within the workplace is a constant pursuit by scientists. The effect studied regarding the issues varies and has a large list of mediators and moderators. A common result of workplace bullying is its effect on working performance. Being one of the variables that hold a unique position as to cause and cause by, loneliness may introduce an updated perception of what bullying could have. Using a purposive sampling online survey, the data was collected from employees of multiple organizations and state-owned companies in Indonesia, especially West Java and North Sumatera. One hundred twenty-six valid data were gathered and processed for this study. The questionnaire was designed using COPSOQ III to assess the workplace bullying variable, the UCLA loneliness scale for the loneliness variable, and Koopman's individual work performance (IWP) assessment for the work performance variable. The result shows a relationship between workplace bullying and work performance, though it is insignificant, and loneliness elevates bullying's effect on work performance. The implication of these findings is to enrich understanding of workplace bullying within the workplace, but further research is still advised.
