Background of Development

・Despite the many differences between the Western concept of workplace bullying (mobbing and bullying) and the Japanese concept of power harassment, there is no scale that measures power harassment according to the Japanese definition.

・Since the decision on what kind of behavior, attitude, or condition constitutes power harassment is left to each workplace, a common understanding of power harassment has not been achieved.

・Although there is a Japanese version of a Western scale that measures the experience of power harassment (NAQ-R Japanese version), there is no scale that measures the perception of power harassment, and there is a definite lack of empirical research.

Scale Characteristics

・It can simultaneously measure both the perceivability of power harassment and the experience of power harassment.

・It consists of three subscales: power harassment behavior, power harassment status, and power harassment attitudes.

・It appropriately captures the concept of power harassment in Japan and the unique workplace culture in Japan.

・Sufficient reliability and validity have been confirmed.
