Background
Demographics (gender, age, race, marital/intimate partner status, parental status, educational attainment)			Assess selection bias/sample representativeness Assess comparability between manager and employee groups (and serve as control variables in outcome models to adjust for group differences) Victimization substudy (predicting victimization)
Employment
Employment History/Stability			Assess comparability between manager and employee groups (and serve as control variables in outcome models to adjust for group differences) Victimization substudy (examining impact of previous victimization on job stability)
Unit/Division			Assess selection bias/sample representativeness
Job type			Assess comparability between employee groups (and serve as control variables in outcome models to adjust for group differences)
Benefits			Assess comparability between employee groups (and serve as control variables in outcome models to adjust for group differences)
Job Retention			Baseline measures will be used to assess comparability between manager and employee groups (and serve as control variables in outcome models to adjust for group differences) Follow-up measures will serve as outcome variables Victimization substudy (consequences of victimization)
