The central purpose of this study is the validation of the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ; Einarsen & Raknes, 1997) in a Spanish sample of 638 workers belonging to the horticulture sector. Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated two factors, consistent with those proposed by Einarsen and Hoel (2001), referring to the two broad categories of harassment: predatory bullying and work related bullying. Finally, the NAQ reflects suitable reliability and validity. Hence, it may be used as an estimate of mobbing in Spanish organizations operating in the horticulture sector.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
