The Japanese Workplace Victimization (WV) Scale was constructed and its reliability was
ascertained in this study. Twenty-four items were selected from workplace victimization scales
that used in previous research. Japanese employees (n = 500), working in corporations in Japan,
participated by answering a questionnaire on WV. The results of factor analysis indicated that WV
in Japan consisted of three dimensions: “sinister harassment” (e.g., disturbing me in my work),
“directive aggression” (e.g., threatening me with physical harm), and “outrage” (e.g., reiterating
my past mistakes or failures). The alpha coefficients indicated that the reliability of the three WV’s
sub-scales was high.
