We have discovered an error in the fractions of depression attributable to workplace bullying presented in Table 6 in our recently published paper (Niedhammer et al. 2022). The corrected attributable fractions are showed in Table 6 (corrected). The prevalences of exposure to workplace bullying are unchanged. This error does not change the text and the conclusions of our paper.

Table 6.
