  • Mobbing/Bullying Behaviour and Mental Health Difficulties of a Victim of Mobbing
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences May-August 2017 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 4, Issue 4 Mobbing/bullying behaviour and mental health difficulties of a victim of mobbing Małgorzata Dobrowolska Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland University College of Social Sciences and Philologies Bernadetta Izydorczyk Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, Faculty of Management and Social Communication Institute of Applied Psychology Abstract The paper provides the theoretical background of mobbying/bullying and description of a case study concerning a victim of mobbing. In conclusion, reflections concerning counteracting of bullying are provided. Each work environment, regardless the form of employment or the specificity of a job, creates conditions for more or less ethical behaviour Keywords: mobbing, mental health, case study Introduction A few reflections concerning mobbing/bullying Adamiec (2013), when analyzing the problems of ethical behaviour, points out that it is not so much about the ethical behaviour but the ethical – or not ethical – situations, in which people behave in a defined way - desired or undesired one. For a person to act in ethically correct way, the conditions of an ”ethical situation” must be met. Adamiec called the first of those conditions “awareness”, the clear autotelic values – the system of axioms, which we assume to be true in our logic, and which we do not question. The second condition refers to encountering or experiencing a problem, that is a threat for autotelic values, which appear difficult or even impossible to maintain, also the way of respecting or protecting them is not completely clear or known.

  • The Influence of Professional Experience on People's Tendency
    Available online at www.sserr.ro Social Sciences and Education Research Review (6) 1 213-221 (2019) ISSN 2393–1264 ISSN–L 2392–9863 THE INFLUENCE OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE ON PEOPLE’S TENDENCY TOWARDS WORKAHOLISM Marius NEGRILĂ, Independent researcher, Romania Abstract Workalholism is placed among the phenomena of organizational pathologies and may lead to serious health problems regarding both the physical and the mental status of the directly involved person or of the ones around him/her. This phenomenon has an impact on the emotional balance of the subject leading to depression, anxiety or even paranoia, which are usually connected to drug or alcohol addiction, compulsive eating, habits that give that lead to the feeling that you are no longer able to control your own life. A workaholic is a person who cannot control himself, working more than necessary, while becoming unhappy and starting to have health problems. The conclusions of the present research reflect that gender or the level of education are not so important when talking about the process of becoming workaholic, but the professional experience achieved over the years could strongly influence the process. The results were obtained through a survey applied on 30 persons, half men and half women of 30 to 45 years old. For the survey were selected subjects with any educational level and any kind of professional experience (0-3 years, 3-10 years and over 10 years). The hypothesis that the professional experience could influence the tendency to becoming a 213 workaholic was confirmed, but more important here are the reasons of suffering from this disease.

  • Karoshi and Karou-Jisatsu in Japan: Causes, Statistics and Prevention Mechanisms
    Asia Pacific Business & Economics Perspectives, Winter 2016, 4(2). Karoshi and Karou-jisatsu in Japan: causes, statistics and prevention mechanisms Behrooz Asgari Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Beppu, Japan [email protected] Peter Pickar and Victoria Garay Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Beppu, Japan ABSTRACT It has been long known that Japan has a penchant for work and loyalty. While hard work and loyalty are generally a positive trait, there is a fine line between productivity and overwork which results in negative side effects and health issues, often leaning to premature death or suicide. This effect has been known in Japan as “karoshi”, a word meaning death due to overwork; or in the case of suicide due to overwork, “karo-jisatsu”. This paper aims to explore the surrounding causes, background, current data and prevention mechanisms that afflict Japan and its culture of “salary-man sudden death syndrome”. Keywords: karoshi, karo-jisatsu, syndrome BACKGROUND Japan has a long history of loyalty and servitude stemming from its pre-war days and Code of Bushido, where “citizens lived in circumstances bordering on poverty” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994). During these times, daily necessities were in short, with only the basics to live being in supply. The mentality of this time was to “self-sacrifice for the country” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994) in an expression of loyalty, so the country could move forward in their endeavors. This generation was known as the “have” generation and their traits of loyalty and self-sacrifice were transferred forward to the ensuing generation. The post-war generation known as the “do” generation, appeared when the first baby-boom phenomenon “reached maturity in the height of Japan’s economic growth in the 1960’s” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994) and readily applied their previous generations way of thinking to the business world.

  • As a Supervisor, You Interact with Employees (Yours and Others) Throughout Your Career
    As a supervisor, you interact with employees (yours and others) throughout your career. You will have influence that you are not aware of. Your words and actions are more powerful than you know and it is important to think about that from time to time. It is important to realize that what you say and how you say it influences how the employees around you feel. Your attitude will penetrate your area and will affect people. As a supervisor, you are being observed constantly by your employees and your attitude and actions make a difference. They watch how you behave. Your behavior is important. Good supervisory skills give you credibility and enable you to get your ideas across. They enable you to persuade and motivate and as a result increase efficiency and productivity in your organization.

Department of Psychology, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria ABSTRACT: Most modern day organizations are characterized by cyber harassment in the workplace which is considered detrimental to the psychological well-being of victims. However, most studies on cyber bullying have mainly been conducted among adolescents, while the issue of work place cyber bullying which affects adults and their working life has just recently began to attract interest from researchers. This study investigates the influence of age, gender, marital status, organizational climate and personality characteristics on work place bullying among health care workers in Nigeria. Using a survey design, 152 health workers were purposively selected from both private and public hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, t- test analysis, regression analysis and one way analysis of variance at 0.05 level of significance. Four hypotheses were tested. The results revealed that age, gender differences and marital status independently influenced work place bullying. Organisational climate and personality factors also jointly influenced workplace bullying. Investigation of the association between the psycho-demographic factors and bullying in the work place is necessary to determine the needed intervention to ensure employees job satisfaction and well-being. KEYWORDS: age, gender, marital status, organizational climate, healthcare workers, workplace bullying, INTRODUCTION The phenomenon of workplace cyber-harassment or bullying has generated a lot concerns in the literature in the recent times.
