WORK POLLUTION IN HEALTH CARE AND
EDUCATION SECTOR FROM SPAIN AND POLAND

The purpose of this confirmatory study was to investigate work environment in order to verify the model of individual and organizational antecedents of mobbing in two corresponding samples from Spain and Poland. 3 scales were applied: Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised (NEQ-Re), Overall Personality Assessment Scale (OPERAS), Work Psychosocial Climate Scale (ECPT). Results mainly supported the organizational climate as a source of mobbing. Decreased emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness were found among characteristics of victims. Polish version of the ECPT (back translation) was introduced as a reliable and valid measure. Questionable reliability was obtained for 4 out of 5 factors of the OPERAS - Polish version (back translation). Further implications of the results are discussed.
