Bullying in the workplace : making a cyber connection

Abstract

Bullying is no longer a problem of the young. Bullying has gone beyond face-to-face interactions between individuals and has found its way into the workplace. Victims now find it nearly impossible to hide from bullying's consequences, especially with the use of evolving technologies. Research shows a prevalence of workplace bullying. The current research study explores the way bullying tendencies are being handled and addressed by employers. Consideration is also given to the evolving ways person-to-person interactions now take place with the introduction of technology and its role in communication.
