  • Incivility, Bullying, and Workplace Violence
    AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION POSITION STATEMENT ON INCIVILITY, BULLYING, AND WORKPLACE VIOLENCE Effective Date: July 22, 2015 Status: New Position Statement Written By: Professional Issues Panel on Incivility, Bullying and Workplace Violence Adopted By: ANA Board of Directors I. PURPOSE This statement articulates the American Nurses Association (ANA) position with regard to individual and shared roles and responsibilities of registered nurses (RNs) and employers to create and sustain a culture of respect, which is free of incivility, bullying, and workplace violence. RNs and employers across the health care continuum, including academia, have an ethical, moral, and legal responsibility to create a healthy and safe work environment for RNs and all members of the health care team, health care consumers, families, and communities. II. STATEMENT OF ANA POSITION ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements states that nurses are required to “create an ethical environment and culture of civility and kindness, treating colleagues, coworkers, employees, students, and others with dignity and respect” (ANA, 2015a, p. 4). Similarly, nurses must be afforded the same level of respect and dignity as others. Thus, the nursing profession will no longer tolerate violence of any kind from any source. All RNs and employers in all settings, including practice, academia, and research, must collaborate to create a culture of respect that is free of incivility, bullying, and workplace violence. Evidence-based best practices must be implemented to prevent and mitigate incivility, bullying, and workplace violence; to promote the health, safety, and wellness of RNs; and to ensure optimal outcomes across the health care continuum.

As such, we will cultivate an environment of mutual respect and responsibility.

Bloomfield College (NJ) Statement on Civility and Human Dignity - The mission of Bloomfield College is "to prepare students to attain academic, personal and professional excellence in a multiracial and global society." It is fundamental to our mission to create an unbiased community and to oppose vigorously any form of racism, religious intolerance, sexism, ageism, homophobia, heterosexism, and discrimination against those with disabling conditions. As the College recognizes the presence of gays, lesbians and bisexuals as members of our community, we therefore affirm the legitimacy and right of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals to create and enrich their cultural experience on our campus. Consistent with this belief, discrimination and/or harassment based upon sexual orientation are prohibited. Coe College (Iowa) CIVILITY STATEMENT This statement was written by students in order to address standards of civility and respect within the Coe College community. This statement is a living document and is intended to evolve over time. We, the members of the Coe College community, expect our campus climate to be safe, mutually supportive, academically encouraging, egalitarian, and tolerant of all its members: We expect the academic experience to extend beyond the classroom into our living environment.

  • What's Gender Got to Do with It? Incivility in the Federal Courts
    What’s Gender Got to Do with It? Incivility in the Federal Courts Lilia M. Cortina, Kimberly A. Lonsway, Vicki J. Magley, Leslie V. Freeman, Linda L. Collinsworth, Mary Hunter, and Louise F. Fitzgerald The current study examines experiences of interpersonal mistreatment in federal litigation among a random sample of 4,608 practicing attorneys. Using both quantitative and qualitative survey data, we documented the na- ture and interplay of general incivility, gender-related incivility, and un- wanted sexual attention. Nearly 75% of female attorneys had experienced some form of this misconduct in the previous five years, compared to half of male attorneys. An in-depth examination of instigators revealed that not only fellow attorneys but also federal judges, court personnel, marshals, and court security officers instigated the inappop’ate behavior. We further found that most attorneys responded to this mistreatment with avoidance and denial; few used or trusted existing reporting mechanisms. The current study sur- passed simple prevalence estimates to document efjects of interpersonal mis- treatment on the professional well-being of targeted attorneys. We discuss implications of these results, drawing on theories of social dominance, sex- role spillover, cognitive stress, organizations, and intervention. Lilia M.

    UC Santa Barbara Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal Title Dehumanization of the Black American Female: An American/Hawaiian Experience Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/72m382mk Journal Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1(1) Author Hairston, Kimetta R. Publication Date 2008-05-15 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal Volume 1, Number 1, pp. 65-85 Dehumanization of the Black American Female: An American/Hawaiian Experience KIMETTA R. HAIRSTON Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg ABSTraCT The dehumanization of Blackness and its effects on Black females are rooted in the harsh history of slavery in America. Attributes such as race and gender impact their life and educational experiences. Examining the historical implications of dehumanization through the lens of Critical Race and Black Radical Feminist Theories provides a foundation for understanding issues surrounding gender, race, and identities of black females in society. This article uses data from 72 Black female students in Hawaii along with the author’s personal experiences to investigate the implications of being Black and female in Hawaiian society. Slavery, the most obvious example of the dehumanization of Black people, left a legacy of unequal treatment. For the purposes of this paper, dehumanization is defined as the process of depriving a person of human qualities, attributes and rights such as individuality, compassion, or civility (Feagan, 2001; Maiese, 2003). This is a process by which members of a group of people assert the inferiority of another group through subtle or overt acts or statements and may be directed by an organization (such as a state) or may be the composite of individual sentiments and actions.

AN ANALYSIS OF CAMPUS CIVILITY: BEST PRACTICES FROM STUDENT AFFAIRS PROFESSIONALS by AMY WILLEMS ZIEZIULA (Under the Direction of Teri Denlea Melton) ABSTRACT Incivility on college campuses is an issue that can disrupt the learning environment and the retention of students, as well as harm the reputation of a college campus. This is a pertinent issue for leaders in higher education to address and to promote a more civil campus both inside and outside of the classroom. There is no research that addresses how Student Affairs Professionals best promote civility on college campuses, and this study fills that research gap. This qualitative study was conducted using Student Affairs Professionals at eight SUNY institutions. The Generational Theory and Work Place Incivility Theory were utilized to frame this research. The researcher collected data relating to civility initiatives from websites, civility statements, workshops, and interviews with three Student Affairs Professionals.

The central aim of this learn; training study was to address how workgroup conditions influence employees’ attitudes about civility training and motivation to learn, which previous research shows is a predictor of training outcomes.

These predictors were hypothesized to drive positive (training discrepancy) and negative (training skepticism) pre-training attitudes, which in turn were expected to influence motivation to learn.
