“…Mobbing and bullying in academia has been researched by multiple scholars, multiple disciplines, and throughout the world (e.g., Denny, 2014; Minibas-Poussard, 2018). A recent comprehensive literature review by Prevost and Hunt (2018) summarizes specific ways in which mobbing and bullying is enacted can include the following: (a) not recognizing meritorious accomplishments and underplaying professional competence, (b) increasing both administrative and teaching workload, (c) providing less resources for teaching and research, (d) exclusion from social circles and conversations, (e) interrupting or spreading rumors and gossip about a professor, and (f) acrimonious verbal behavior, such as yelling, gaslighting, interrupting, microaggressing, or silencing (Ahmad, Kalim, & Kaleem, 2017; Keashly & Neuman, 2010; May & Tenzek, 2018; Neuman, 2010; Wood, 2016). In the context of business and economics faculty, the most likely victims of mobbing are females between 31 and 50 years old and they mainly suffer from rumors, scrutiny, criticism, discounting of accomplishments, exclusion, and being ganged up against by a group formed by the bully (Raineri, Frear, & Edmonds, 2011).…”
