An Organizational Approach to Workplace Bullying

 


The book An Organizational Approach to Workplace Bullying examines organizational culture and wellness in the context of bully triads. The book includes ideas for assessing and improving organizational culture. The book addresses possible approaches to improve workplace culture and corporate wellness and to create bullying-free environments.

An Organizational Approach to Workplace Bullying is a bullying prevention guide for the workplace or educational setting; however, the book does not address the bully who encourages self-harm or brings weapons into the workplace or classroom because the legal system has provided a transparent correctional system for dealing with the extreme violence and danger that these people present. Instead, the book offers suggestions for leaders and educators to deactivate the tendency to create havoc and mayhem in work and learning environments by addressing the unmet needs of the workplace and school community. In addition, the book An Organizational Approach to Workplace Bullying may help leaders and educators assess work and learning environments to determine whether specific trends and patterns within the organization contribute to and promote future bullying among employee and student populations. -Dr. Stewart

Getting Your Point Across

 Cross-culturally, getting an important point across without being seen as aggressive or a bully can be complicated. Often, the point of interest involves cherished personal beliefs and values and may seem indisputable from this perspective, which creates bias and a host of formal and informal fallacies. To get your point across without being seen as the aggressive communicator or a bully requires a substantial effort for the compassionate, effective communicator. For example, compassionate and effective communication involves gathering valid and reliable information on the subject, exploring alternatives, understanding the person receiving the communication's culture and sociopolitical and socioeconomic environment, and having a theory of mind that allows you to accept that others may think and feel differently about the subject. -Dr. Debra Stewart
