Bullying and Moral Injury

 

 

The bully triad consists of the bully, the bystander, and the victim. When bullying occurs, the toxic relationship between members creates moral injury. Moral injury occurs in individuals and groups when forced participation in events occurs either through active or passive means, where the violation of member values and beliefs or spirituality is disrespected and reduces the meaning and significance of life. Moral injury for the bully triad members creates feelings of emotional guilt and shame, betrayal, and cognitive dissonance. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicidal ideation, bullying, and victims of war, abuse, rape, and trauma all have a causal link to moral injury, which makes treatment and recovery difficult.

The Knowledge Bully

The knowledge bully is a bully with the full armor of mastery at their disposal ready to fill in the gaps and to use a one-up-person-ship to gain the advantage over others. The knowledge bully may hide information and silo communication rather than share and collaborate with others. Unmet needs fueled by low self-esteem and self-concept are the catalysts for creating knowledge bullies, and toxic work environments inhibit the healing and growth needed for these bullies to assimilate with other work teams again. Detoxifying work environments begin with the mission and values of the organization and an in-depth look at the reward and recognition systems. -Dr. Stewart pictureyourselfstronger@yahoo.com

What is Your Organizational Definition of Bullying?

 

The workplace bully can easily be identified when there are escalations in chaos and workplace tension because bullies are often central figures who receive credit for all infamous deeds and sometimes heroics. Bullies harbor resources, information, and knowledge and undermine every operational process. However, workplace bullies do not suddenly emerge but are fueled by imbalances in the organizational culture and slowly nurtured to take their unfair share of the workplace power. What is the definition of a workplace bully? It depends on the organizational structure, mission and values, and how acts of aggression and misuse of power are named. Some organizations would not recognize a bully rising to power because bullies exude magnificence while riding on coworkers' skills and competencies, and talents to save the day.  Other organizations would sense that something was wrong because of the shift from the workplace mission and vision and decreased employee satisfaction and loyalty.
