“…Research generally identifies men as more common perpetrators, with women more commonly targeted. 1,14,15 Our Kruskal-Wallis analysis of UWBQ-R data aligned with the literature, with women reporting more experiences of Hostility, Exclusionary Behavior, and Gossiping. Similarly, our logistic regression analysis of NAQ-R data revealed that women were more likely to report having experienced incivility in the last 6 months compared with men.…”

Workplace bullying and incivility have been recognized as significant problems in both clinical and academic environments. ese negative behaviors can lead to disengagement, stress, and lost productivity. e purposes of this study were to 1) identify predictors of bullying experiences and 2) assess the prevalence of being bullied among faculty and staff working in physical therapist education programs across the United States. Review of Literature. More than onethird of US workers are bullied or have witnessed bullying in the workplace. When these disruptive behaviors occur within the context of physical therapist education, the impact can be detrimental to teaching and learning, clinical practice, and individual well-being. Subjects. Participants included 529 Doctor of Physical erapy faculty and staff. Methods. Respondents completed the uncivil workplace behavior questionnaire-revised and negative acts questionnaire-revised.Results. Survey results revealed that 32.5% of academic faculty had experienced bullying within the last 6 months. Discussion and Conclusion. e prevalence of bullying and incivility in academic physical therapy programs approaches that of the general workforce in the United States. Physical erapy education programs must take an active role in preventing, recognizing, and managing uncivil behaviors in the academic environment.

“…This loss of confidence is confirmed in the literature (Valverde, 2013) as the “dark side” of transformative learning (Morrice, 2012). Women may personalize bullying more than men who see it as organizational (Misawa et al, 2017). However, several participants understood the structural department power dynamics that accounted for the bullying.…”

Like other workplaces, bullying occurs in academia. Additionally, women report more frequent and severe forms of bullying than men. The purpose of this qualitative study was to unearth women academics’ learning because of being bullied. We discuss the learning context and explore the learning that occurred. Understanding these factors can augment the literature on bullying in academia. As a result of being bullied, women fundamentally changed their perceptions of themselves, others, their respective institutions, and their priorities. This study reveals how women can gain skills and have negative and positive changes in worldview. We offer practical suggestions for faculty, administrators, and institutions to promote learning from the experience of being bullied.

“…Previous studies have universally concurred in demonstrating that most occurrences of WSH are perpetrated by men against women (Herrera et al, 2018; McDonald, 2012; Minnotte & Legerski, 2019; O’Leary-Kelly et al, 2009; Wei, 2016). They have also consistently shown that women typically use avoidance strategies to cope with WSH, including disengagement, withdrawal, and remaining silent (Lin & Yang, 2019; Misawa et al, 2019) and seldom make formal complaints, either through internal organizational procedures or to outside bodies (Fitzgerald et al, 1995; McDonald, 2012). There are many reasons why women choose to remain silent in the face of SH.…”

Workplace sexual harassment (WSH) has been recognized in the literature as a serious problem for the past 40 years. Since 2017, the global #MeToo movement has fostered local awareness of WSH and inspired researchers in China to pay increasing attention. Guided by the gender empowerment theory, this study investigated the relationships between women’s responses as targets of WSH (e.g., choosing avoidance or confrontation) and both their perceptions of gender equality and their knowledge of the relevant national laws. We used data from a recent large-scale online survey conducted on the topic of sexual harassment among Chinese women in four metropolitan cities in 2018 and selected 862 women who had experienced WSH during the previous 12 months as the study sample. The results revealed that 545 of the respondents chose to show resistance when faced with WSH, while 287 identified their boss as their harasser. In addition, respondents’ perceptions of gender equality and their knowledge of national laws on anti-domestic violence were shown to have positive effects on their responses as targets of WSH. Moreover, monthly income, household registration, and type of WSH were found to be associated with targets’ responses in a statistically significant way, whereas their marital status, educational background, and age were not. Furthermore, the study found that the boss as harasser weakened the relationship between women’s perception of gender equality and their active response to WSH incidents. With this study, we advance our understanding of the important role that perceptions of gender equality play in women’s responses as targets of WSH, and we discuss implications for prevention and intervention efforts that encourage targets to actively respond. We advocate promoting education on gender equality, fostering awareness of the laws and regulations relevant to WSH, and cultivating an organizational culture and environment that is hostile toward WSH.
