This study aimed to determine the extent of workplace<br>bullying and stress among office professionals of selected companies and<br>institutions in Silang, Cavite and Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The study was conducted<br>among 102 office professionals using convenience sampling. This correlation study<br>on workplace bullying and stress were measured using a validated questionnaire<br>adapted from Tabang (2017) and Gumarao (2011), respectively. The results<br>revealed that the overall workplace bullying was perceived to be very low in terms<br>of verbal, nonverbal, psychological, and physical. The stress level of the office<br>professional was also perceived as low. The correlation analysis revealed that<br>verbal bullying (p=.010), nonverbal bullying (p=.000), psychological bullying<br>(p=.005), and physical bullying (p=.005) were significantly associated with stress.<br>Further results revealed that stress level is significant considering the demographic<br>profile (age, gender, marital status, educational attainment, length of service, and<br>religion). However, emotional stress significantly differs by age but not on the other<br>types of stress. Recommendations were made to address the issues of bullying and<br>stress in the workplace. </p> ER -
