Description
Workplace bullying is a common occurrence in Australian workplaces, and has important implications for the well-being of employees, and productivity of organisations. Precise estimates of the prevalence of workplace bullying vary depending on factors including the specific approach used to assess bullying, sampling methodology, cultural factors, and sample characteristics (Nielsen, Matthiesen, & Einarsen, 2010). However, in Australia, it is estimated that 5 – 7% of employees have experienced recent workplace bullying (i.e., within a 6 month timeframe); a further 40% report having experienced workplace bullying earlier in their career.The aim of this project was to investigate the nature of workplace bullying in Australia, and identify strategies to prevent and manage workplace bullying. This involved addressing five research questions (RQs):1. What behaviours or experiences constitute bullying in the workplace?2. What factors predict workplace bullying?3. What are the consequences of workplace bullying for individuals andorganisations?4. What practical strategies are currently used to prevent and manageworkplace bullying?5. How effective are these strategies in preventing and managingworkplace bullying?This project involved the conduct of a rapid review of the literature, a survey with 1528 Australian employees, and a Delphi process with experts in workplace bullying.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
