Meanwhile, thirty-two per cent of respondents said they felt bullied by a team member over the same period.
Almost 4000 staffers filled in the survey in late 2018, and board members saw the survey results in a recent meeting.
Speaking later, Dave Macpherson called the figures mind blowing and said whoever ended up running the DHB would have to do something about it.
Outgoing interim chief executive Derek Wright said it was naive to think bullying wasn't going on in a big organisation, but the figure were concerning.
Some instances of bullying would probably have been feedback which wasn't delivered in a constructive way, he said.

Cemetery staffers say they've noticed the skids get more deliberate and extensive over the past two to three years.
One funeral director had seen someone step in front of a car in an attempt to stop it doing a burnout, according to the Funeral Directors Association NZ.
As well as the noise - which affects other services on at the same time - the burnouts are leaving rubber marks, ripping through the seal, and cemetery staffers are worried one of the vehicles will lose control and hurt someone.
