In this perspective, theoretical findings about the definitinions, nature, history of trauma and post traumatic stress order is presented. Workplace bullying, as a potential antecedent of PTSD is presented and parallel with previous research; it is proposed that workplace bullying can trigger PTSD. In addition, evidence indicates traumatic events are not the only of source PTSD; individual differences play a role in predicting PTSD. Thus, neuroticism as a personality characteristic is proposed to have an impact on PTSD. Thus, neuroticism can affect perceptions about workplace bullying. As such, neuroticim can moderate the relationship between workplace bullying and PTSD.
