“…Past studies have defined workplace cyberbullying as the percent of individuals who perceived themselves to be the target of repeated and systematic negative acts on at least a weekly basis over a period of 6 months or longer. 12 Based on this definition, about 9.2% of individuals in the workplace reported being cyberbullied. 13 In addition, Privitera and Campbell 14 reported the prevalence of workplace cyberbullying to be 10.7%.…”

OBJECTIVES:To examine the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization (CV), its associations with self-reported health and substance use and the extent to which age moderates these associations. METHODS:We used the 2014 Canadian General Social Survey on Victimization (N = 31 907, mean age = 45.83, SD = 18.67) and binary logistic regression models to estimate the strength of association between CV and health-related outcomes. RESULTS:The five-year prevalence of CV was 5.1%. Adolescents reported the highest prevalence of CV (12.2%), compared to all other adult age groups (1.7%-10.4%). After controlling for socio-demographic covariates, individuals exposed to CV had increased odds of reporting poor mental health (OR = 4.259, 95% CI = 2.853-6.356), everyday limitations due to mental health problems (OR = 3.263, 95% CI = 2.271-4.688), binge drinking (OR = 2.897, 95% CI = 1.765-4.754), and drug use (OR = 3.348, 95% CI = 2.333-4.804), compared to those not exposed to CV. The associations between CV and self-reported mental health and substance use were strongest for adolescents and attenuated across the adult age groups.CONCLUSION: Adolescence may represent a developmental period of heightened susceptibility to CV. Developing and evaluating targeted preventive interventions for this age group is warranted.KEY WORDS: Bullying; mental health; adolescent La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

“…(2011) idėjas, kad jaunesni darbuotojai, turintys mažiau formalios ir neformalios galios turi didesnę tikimybę patirti patyčias darbe. Kita vertus, pastarasis rezultatas yra prieštaringas kitų tyrimų atžvilgiu, rodančių, jog vyresni darbuotojai yra dažniau atakuojami kolegų (Einarsen, Skogstad, 1996) bei tyrimų, kurie reikšmingų amžiaus skirtumų neatskleidė (Malinauskienė ir kt., 2007). Prieštaringi tyrimų rezultatai gali rodyti, jog amžiaus skirtumų atsiranda tada, kai pati organizacijos kultūra paremia nepalankų požiūrį į jaunesnius ar vyresnius darbuotojus.…”

Straipsnyje atskleidžiamos individualių ir organizacinių veiksnių sąsajos su patyčiomis darbe ir įvertinama veiksnių svarba, aiškinant patyčių darbe reiškinį Lietuvos darbuotojų grupėje. Rezultatai atskleidžia didesnę organizacinių veiksnių svarbą ir iš dalies patvirtina H. Leymann (1996) darbo aplinkos hipotezę. Raktiniai žodžiai: patyčios darbe, vadovavimas, darbo charakteristikos, organizaciniai veiksniai, individualūs veiksniai.The present study reveals the relationships between individual and organizational factors and workplace bullying as well as indentifies the importance of the factors in explaining workplace bullying in Lithuanian group of employees.

“…Despite these differences in fields and the objectives of studies, and even theoretical and conceptual diversity, similar definitions and consequences of bullying and mobbing have emerged. The literature has consistently shown that actions and practices associated with bullying and mobbing can include withholding information, excluding the victim, social isolation, excessive criticizing or monitoring of the victim’s work, repeated negative acts, systematic mistreatment and victimization of targets, depriving the victim of work responsibilities, silent treatments, spreading rumours about the victim, attacking the victim’s private life, public humiliation, victimization, insulting remarks and even physical aggression (Einarsen, 1996, 1999; Einarsen, Hoel, Zapf, & Cooper, 2003; Einarsen & Skogstad, 1996; Hoel, Cooper, & Faragher, 2001; Salin, 2003). …”

“…In terms of outcomes, most victims of bullying and mobbing have been reported to experience feelings of inferiority in defending themselves, feelings of desperation and total helplessness, stress symptoms such disturbed sleep, recurring unpleasant nightmares, generalized anxiety disorder, difficulty falling asleep, moodiness, persistent symptoms of increased psychological arousal, incontinence, poor concentration, irritability, exaggerated startle responses, increased physiological reactivity when exposed to stimuli suggestive of the traumatizing problems and excessive feelings of guilt (Björkgvist, Osterman, & Hielt-Bdck, 1994; Einarsen, 1999; Einarsen & Skogstad, 1996; Randall, 1997). Using the Work Harassment Scale, Björkgvist et al (1994) revealed experiences of insomnia, apathy, lack of concentration, post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, depression, anxiety and aggression.…”

Work is undoubtedly fundamental to human life, social development and the economic development of individuals, organizations and nations. However, the experience of working is not always pleasant as there are many instances where relationships between workers could deteriorate, leading to practices and behaviours that could be characterized as workplace bullying and/or mobbing. The current study is an exploratory study which used autoethnography to investigate experiences of academic bullying and mobbing, and relates the practices to power structures in academic institutions. Specifically, the author shares personal experiences and explores the physical and emotional pain of being bullied and mobbed. The author also outlines how both autoethnography and meaning in life strategies were used to cope with the physical and emotional distresses associated with the negative experiences. By outlining the success of the meaning in life strategies, the author hopes to inspire other “victims” to move from victims to being survivors of bullying and mobbing.
