Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate whether frequent conflicts in the workplace have an impact on workplace harassment. The hypotheses developed within the framework of the study have been tested with data collected from the sample of the staff of the Chankırı Security Directorate. The conflict in the organizations has been addressed in two dimensions: duty and relationship conflict. Multiple regression analysis has been conducted to test the impact of conflict on workplace harassment. Furthermore, the results of two methods were compared by evaluating the relationships between the variables by means of the foolish logic qualitative comparison analysis (fsQCA). While the results of multiple regression analysis show that the task and relationship conflict has a meaningful and correct impact on the behavior of being exposed to workplace harassment, fsQCA has shown that the relationship-based conflict only has an effect on workplace harassment.
