The data belongs to a sample of 201 frontline workers in Malaysia. This demographic data was collected using a cross-sectional questionnaire via an online survey and analyzed using SPSS version 25. This data was used to investigate the relationship between workplace incivility, emotional exhaustion and adaptive performance (handling emergencies, handling work stress, creative problem solving, learning new tasks, technology and procedure and demonstrating interpersonal adaptability) among frontline workers. The analyzed data will be useful in contributing to further research into the effects of workplace incivility on employees' well-being and job performance. It will also give insights to stakeholders and those at managerial level who formulate appropriate intervention plans to overcome or reduce the issue of workplace bullying among frontline workers.
Studies have consistently shown that childhood maltreatment is a significant risk factor for the development of drug addiction across human lifespan. Yet, little is known about the prevalence of childhood maltreatment history among drug addicts in Malaysia. The dataset presented in this article provides demographic information on 200 drug addicts recruited from two rehabilitation centres in Malaysia, the prevalence of different types of childhood maltreatment history and the correlation between all types of maltreatments. Analyses of the data can provide insights into the prevalence of maltreatment history and development of drug addiction, therefore indispensable for mental health professionals designing appropriate interventions for the drug addicts. The data can also provide baseline data for comparative studies in terms of childhood maltreatment history and drug addiction across different countries.
