A communication approach illustrates the toxic complexity of workplace bullying, as it is condoned through societal discourses, sustained by receptive workplace cultures, and perpetuated through local interactions. Examining these (macro, meso, and micro) communicative elements addresses the most pressing questions about workplace bullying including: 1) how abuse manifests, 2) how employees respond, 3) why it is so harmful, 4) why resolution is so difficult, and 5) how it might be resolved.

The three-fold aim is to (i) identify key social mechanisms related to participation and engagement, (ii) discuss the phenomena in a broader sociological and criminological framework, and (iii) compare social mechanisms in BWC with mechanisms in cyberbullying. The analysis was conducted in two steps, firstly a case study based on a combination of media reports and extracts from different social media posts related to BWC was conducted. Secondly, the result from the case study was re-analyzed in relation to key elements identified in cyberbullying, to conclude if and how BWC can be defined as a form of cyberbullying.

  • The Resonance of Le Harclement Moral, Mobbing Or Bullying
    The Resonance of le Harcèlement Moral, Mobbing or Bullying in the Performing Arts Workplace Anne-Marie Quigg Doctoral Student Department of Cultural Policy & Management, School of Arts City University, London An experienced arts management professional, Anne-Marie Quigg created a new UK consultancy company in 1995 specialising in strategic business planning and development for arts and community organisations. Alongside her Doctoral research into workplace bullying she has developed practical, educational material for voluntary sector organisations, focusing on human resources management. Abstract In the first survey of bullying in performing arts organisations in the UK, two in five employees have reported being the target of a workplace bully — a higher percentage than recorded previously in other employment sectors, including the army, police, prisons and the health service. Bullying behaviour is prevalent and increasing among arts workers and trades unions members have called for more support in dealing with harassment, mobbing and abusive behaviour in theatres and arts centres. Managers appear to be relatively unaware of bullying behaviour and, in justifying longer working hours and lower rates of pay, maintained that working in the arts was ‘different’ and a source of pride. In certain respects the performing arts do appear to be different, but not always in positive ways. Rather, they are proving to be different in ways that, in human terms, are not fair to those who work in them. Keywords Bullying, Performing Arts, Human Resources,

  • Bullying and Harassment
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORKPLACE BULLYING AND HARASSMENT There is a good deal of overlap between Workplace bullying and harassment. Harassment can even be part of a bullying scenario. After all, not all incidents of harassment get reported. People sometimes just brush it off if it‘s minor or they feel they can handle it. But this becomes harder when it‘s repeated and other abuse is going on as well. Tim Field who has written books on bullying and is responsible for the UK National Workplace Bullying Advice Line, has identified some differences. Some of these are shown below but you can get more information from www.successunlimited.co.uk . Harassment Bullying Tends to focus on the individual because of what Anyone will do, especially if the bully feels they are eg. Gender, race etc. threatened in some way.
