Workplace bullying presents serious challenges to organizations, but it remains one of the most neglected problems in the realm of applied ethics. Accordingly, this book analyzed the lived experiences of six employees who have experienced workplace bullying in Christian organizations specifically in a faith-centered context. The distinguished threads were assessed to determine the context and specific differences between workplace bullying in general organizations and faith-centered organizations
The advent of the internet and social media were landmarks in furthering communication technologies. Through social media websites, families, friends, and communities could connect in a way never seen. Though these websites are helpful tools in facilitating positive interaction, they have also allowed users to verbally attack and bully each other with no fear of repercussion. Moreover, online predators will often use these tools to harass, stalk, and in some cases even lure their victims. Particularly rampant among adolescents, these harmful actions must be mitigated in order to safeguard the mental health and physical safety of users. The Research Anthology on Combating Cyber-Aggression and Online Negativity discusses the research behind cyber-aggression and cyber bullying, as well as methods to predict and prevent online negativity. It presents policy, technological, and human intervention practices against cyber-aggression. Covering topics such as media literacy, demographic variables, and workplace cyberbullying, this major reference work is a critical resource for students and educators of higher education, libraries, social media administrators, government organizations, K-12 teachers, computer scientists, sociologists, psychologists, human resource managers, researchers, and academicians.
We are not victims of our circumstances and bullying does not have to be a negative experience With this inspiring book, Nancy S. Stjepanovic shares her experience of being bullied at work and guides us through the healing process that transformed her life. We learn that healing is possible and bullying does not have to be a negative experience. Through her healing journey, Nancy explored the fundamentals of bullying. Why it happens. Why people bully and how to heal from it. She discovered that external conflict is a reflection of internal conflict. And the only way to heal is to go within. Emotional healing is a process of exploring our belief system and releasing emotional blocks. It is not necessary to relive the bullying experience. It is not necessary to go into the trauma but to become a neutral observer of what needs to be transformed. To help with our transformation, we are invited to follow the three-step process in this book that takes us on a self-discovery journey filled with compassion for self and others. ...the universe knows what we need, which may not align with what we want, but we just have to trust it...
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore and understand how individuals perceived their personal, lived experiences of workplace bullying and how it affected job satisfaction, organizational, and/or educational culture in the Kentuckiana area. Two theoretical foundations used for this study were Schein's Organizational Culture Model and Hackman and Oldham's Work Design Model. The study utilized two research questions: (1) What are the lived experiences and perceived effects of workplace bullying on job satisfaction from the perspective of organizational and/or educational employees in the Kentuckiana area who have experienced it? (2) What are the lived experiences and perceived effects of workplace bullying on organizational and/or educational culture from the perspective of employees in the Kentuckiana area who have experienced it? This study used 15 participants from the Kentuckiana area. The data were analyzed using the NVivo qualitative software. In total, six themes emerged from data collection. These themes were job dissatisfaction due to behaviors of Human Resource personnel, lack of enforced policies, and, verbal, mental, and communications technology abuse; and, negative organizational culture due to lack of leadership responsibility and accountability; unethical boundaries, and three threats of murder or death. This study could assist leaders in recognizing and understanding the phenomenon, how it affects job satisfaction, organizational culture, and to help mitigate workplace bullying.

There has been an increasing awareness over the past few decades of bullying and the effect it has on the educational and social achievements of children and young people. The Committee's report examines the progress that has been made to address this problem since the introduction of the 'Don't Suffer in Silence' pack in 1994, the barriers that prevent schools from tackling bullying effectively, issues of prejudice-driven bullying including SEN-related, homophobic and faith-based bullying, and cyber-bullying. The report finds that defining what bullying is and identifying instances of bullying is the first potential barrier to successfully tackling the problem. Teachers and staff, pupils and parents should all be aware of their school's definition of bullying and how this affects their own behaviour, with the attitude and engagement of head teachers vital to tackling bullying. The focus of anti-bullying guidance should be tackling bullying behaviour and making it clear that such behaviour is not acceptable, rather than attempting to change the behaviour of the victim. The DfES should issue new guidance to local authorities and schools on when the use of exclusion is appropriate. The lack of accurate reliable data on bullying is another barrier to more effective anti-bullying work, and the Government should commission a long-term study of a number of schools, looking at both general trends in bullying and also the effectiveness of different approaches in different circumstances. The report also recommends that the Government needs to foster a culture where schools are encouraged to be open about incidents of bullying, have effective ways of dealing with bullying when it occurs and provide support the victims of bullying, rather than fearing reporting incidents of bullying will damage their reputation.
