“…Employees who had high political tendency boasted lower job satisfaction (31–33) whereas there is evidence that job satisfaction may lead to higher levels of political behavior (34). According to one study, in Turkish organizations bullying is a political behavior that some employees show in order to promote their own interests (35). …”

Organizational behaviors are commonly acknowledged as fundamentals of organizational life that strongly influence both formal and informal organizational processes, interpersonal relationships, work environments, and pay and promotion policies. The current study aims to investigate political behavior tendencies among employees of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS).This cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was conducted on 810 TUMS employees at the headquarters of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran during 2010–2011. The research tool for data collection was a researcher-tailored questionnaire on political behaviors. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by seven management professors, and its reliability was tested by a pilot study using test-retest method which yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.71. The respondents were asked to fill the questionnaire and express their perceptions and tendencies to engage in organizational behaviors. The collected data was read to and analyzed by IBM SPSS environment and correlation analytical methods.Overall, 729 respondents filled and returned the questionnaire yielding a response rate of 90%. Most of the respondents indicated that they had no tendency to engage in political behavior. Moreover, we found that there was a significant correlation between sex, higher education degrees, tenure and the employees’ tendency to engage in political behavior.The participants were not overtly political because of their personal belief, ethical values, and personal characters. Non-political and overtly political employees are both prejudicial for all organizations. Therefore, it seems that the medium rate of good political behavior is vital and prevalent in Iranian organizations.

“…Aspects of reputation in the context of mobbing are abundantly analysed by different authors in different countries (D'Cruz & Rayner, 2013;Fox & Stallworth, 2010;Harvey et al, 2007;Hugh-Jones & Zultan, 2013;Katrinli, Atabay, Gunay, & Cangarli, 2010;Lutgen-Sandvik, 2008;Lutgen-Sandvik & Tracy, 2012;O'Donnell, MacIntosh, & Wuest, 2010). The damage of mobbing to health is discussed in scientific articles by the following authors: Duffy and Sperry (2007), Yildirim, Yildirim, and Timucin (2007), Testa (2013), Burgi (2014), Garot (2014), andSchindeler (2014).…”

The purpose of this article is to form the original questionnaire to identify intensity of the expression of mobbing in employees' relationships. Mobbing in the context of the paper is the bullying of an individual by a group at the work place. The article presents only the statistical analysis of psychometric features of the formed questionnaire without elaborating on the results of the empirical research on the intensity of mobbing expression in employees' relationships in Lithuanian organisations. The advantage of the questionnaire is that it is relatively short; however, it covers all features which are characteristic of the mobbing phenomenon and provides the opportunity to analyse the attack that does not fall under the definition of mobbing. It can be used both for mass and local research at the level of single organisations. Economic losses are also revealed by the questionnaire through the assessment of damage experienced by employees, generated expenses and lost revenues.

“…Stress, poor mental health, and feelings of overwork and inadequacy are all factors influencing individuals to behave in a bullying manner. [65] Cangelosi et al [37] found increased faculty bullying of students occurs due to faculty characteristics such as lack of experience teaching, unfamiliarity with the clinical site, and poor workplace boundaries. In nursing, the goals of reflective practice are to develop critical thinking, critique one's performance or knowledge, highlight learning needs, and develop strategies to meet those needs.…”

This paper will explore the faculty role when nursing students experience bullying, and what teaching practices best support student confidence and learning. Failure to address the issue of bullying in nursing education contributes to bullying in the profession, and creates an atmosphere of distrust between students and faculty. Nursing students have reported that faculty sometimes behave in bullying ways or are ill-prepared to address bullying as it occurs. Faculty may contribute to bullying unknowingly, as students may perceive teaching behaviours, such as giving feedback, as bullying. Giving feedback is a skill in itself, and faculty members should consider factors influencing a student's perception of student/teacher interactions. Having a firm grasp on conflict resolution processes and reviewing related curriculum are responsibilities of post-secondary nurse educators. Faculty also have the responsibility to recognize and address conflict in a timely manner, and turn difficult situations into learning experiences or teachable moments. In order to prevent faculty bullying of students, faculty members should acknowledge the inherent vulnerability of learners, and also reflect on their own communication practices and their potential impact on learners.
