This study examined a relationship of workplace bullying (traditional and cyberbullying) in terms of stress, self-esteem and life satisfaction. It further examined a relationship between traditional bullying and cyberbullying. The study encompassed 111 individuals accessed through Facebook and DBS. A cross-sectional design was used with quasi experimental and correlational aspects.
