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.

The pair said they had a "terrible" work-life balance back in the UK, and moved to New Zealand for the Kiwi lifestyle and the beaches.
But Dave, 44, was diagnosed with terminal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) in February, soon after the move.
The couple's story has prompted an outpouring of support.
A Stuff reader let them stay at his beachside home in Tairua, meals are cooked for them by members of the Residents of Flagstaff Facebook group, a neighbour goes for daily walks with Dave, and another drove to Auckland Airport to pick up Dave's parents.
