Summary Bullying is a sensitive topic of discussion that has recently gained momentum in literature and research. Although the consequences of bullying may be varied, the present study sought to identify specific academic and work-related outcomes. Specifically, this study examined the influence of cyberbullying (or bullying using means of electronic communication) and face-to-face bullying on job and academic performance. Additional measures were used to explore whether the relationship between bullying and performance is impacted by varying levels of individual personality. Results indicate that certain types bullying have a significant influence on both academic and job performance and that in some cases these relationships are moderated by individual personality characteristics.
