“…Third, we draw attention to the current emphasis on sustainable workplaces and, in particular, sustainable workforce management practices (Anlesinya and Susomrith, 2020), underscoring that an indispensable criterion for a sustainable work environment is that of being free of mistreatment so that optimal economic success can be realised (Kramar, 2014). Finally, not only do we address the field’s call to identify underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions in the servant leadership–workplace bullying relationship by uncovering the role of employee compassion and SCBs (Neall and Tuckey, 2014), but also we progress much-needed Eastern perspectives in workplace bullying (D’Cruz et al , 2021b) by capturing the Pakistani social context through SCBs.…”

“…This paper focuses on the management of workplace bullying, defined as a “regular and persistent pattern of abrasive behaviours and hostile messages directed toward one or more persons of weaker power with a real or perceived intent to harm” (Ahmad et al , 2017, p. 204). Despite concerted research and practice attention focusing on the harmful effects of workplace bullying on targets, bystanders and workplaces (see, for example, Conway et al , 2021; Hansen et al , 2021; Hogh et al , 2021; Islam et al , 2021a; Pouwelse et al , 2021), the phenomenon remains a contentious problem worldwide (D’Cruz et al , 2021b; Islam et al , 2019), resulting in International Labour Organisation/ILO Convention 190 seeking to eliminate violence and harassment at work (ILO, 2019).…”

“…Third, it deepens insights into the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of both servant leadership and workplace bullying, responding to earlier calls (Eva et al , 2019; Neall and Tuckey, 2014) highlighting this gap. Fourth, it adds to the contemporaneously emerging body of literature uncovering cultural perspectives on workplace bullying (D’Cruz et al , 2021b), specifically introducing the field of workplace bullying to SCBs as indicators of the context.…”

Purpose Adapting a positive business ethics framework, the purpose of this paper is to offer a new perspective to manage bullying at work. Specifically, this paper reports an empirical study which examines how the good work of servant leadership may lower employees’ exposure to workplace bullying, with compassion as a mediator and social cynicism beliefs (SCBs) as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach Survey data were gathered from 337 essential health professionals working in various public and private health-care organisations in Pakistan. Structural equation modelling was used to test the research model. Findings This study found that perceived servant leadership helps in lessening employee exposure to workplace bullying by strengthening their compassion. However, SCBs moderate the mediating role of compassion in employees’ perceptions of the servant leadership–bullying relationship. Research limitations/implications This study has implications in developing models of leadership to build employees’ empathetic resources to combat workplace bullying. The authors found that servant leadership and workplace compassion, embodying positive, ethical and sustainable attributes, play a crucial role in managing bullying at work by promoting relational dignity. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that examines the relationships between employee perceptions of servant leadership, workplace bullying and employee compassion while considering SCBs as a boundary condition.

Objective: This cross-sectional quantitative study aimed to establish the prevalence, antecedents, and outcomes of workplace bullying among senior medical staff in Africa. It will look at how workplace demands, peer and managerial support and bullying affects personal and professional outcomes.Methods: We used a mixed methods approach with quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews in several African healthcare settings. The prevalence of bullying was measured using the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ-r), and the level of workplace demands and support for individuals was assessed using the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Analysis Tool.Findings: The new study found that 38% of senior doctors reported experiencing bullying on a weekly basis and even higher rates in emergency medicine and related specialties. Bullying was significantly associated with high workplace demands and low peer and managerial support. So far-reaching were the ramifications of his bullying that they undermined both individual welfare and organizational efficacy. In other words, 69.6% of responses did not indicate bullying because of alleged reasons of barriers for reporting like fear of retaliation, and lack of trust in management whatsoever.Novelty: This study offers unprecedented insights into a hitherto neglected area workplace bullying in African healthcare. It showcases novel contributing aspects, including workload and support systems, while shedding light on the barriers to reporting, providing a new lens of contention in African contexts.Research Implications: Its findings highlight the importance of schools' implementing interventions to reduce workplace bullying, including promoting supportive infrastructures, managing demands and stressors in the workplace, and creating environments for safe reporting, to protect the well-being of Africa's senior medical professionals.
