Bullied!: Coping with Workplace Bullying
by Vanessa M. GattisWorkplace bullying, the repeated and regular act of harassing, offending, socially excluding someone, or negatively affecting someone’s work over time has been recognized as a serious threat to the health and well-being of employees. This study sought to explore resilience as a coping strategy to help improve the physical and mental health effects of professional women who have or are experiencing workplace bullying. The central research question was, how does perceived resilience, when used as a coping strategy, help with the physical and mental health stressors while helping to improve the overall well-being of professional women who were or have experienced workplace bullying? Using a qualitative methodology with a single-case study design, 10 professional women who have and are still experiencing workplace bullying were commissioned to participate. To increase the validity of the results, four data techniques were employed: open-ended interviews, researcher notes with observations, and two surveys-the Resilience at Work (R@W) Scale, and the SF12v2 Health Survey. Four major themes emerged: Negative Experiences, Consequences of Bullying, Impact on Health, and Support Systems. It was discovered that the majority of the participants believed that they were targeted at their workplace because of their race, followed by their gender, and age. The women shared that the negative experiences and consequences of bullying can serve as indicators that workplace bullying is evident and that it can affect their health negatively. Additionally, the participants reported that various support systems and networks greatly increased their resilience at work.

Bullying in Different Contexts
by Claire P. Monks Iain CoyneBullying has a tendency to be associated with aggression between children in the playground, but bullying and abuse can also be observed in other social settings. Bullying in Different Contexts brings together, for the first time, leading international researchers to discuss these behaviours in a wide range of settings, including preschool, school, the home, residential care, prisons, the workplace and cyberspace. The authors provide background to the different contexts, discuss the impact and types of interpersonal aggression and the characteristics of those involved. A final chapter collates the findings from each context to draw conclusions on the similarities and differences between the behaviours, risk factors for involvement and theoretical approaches to explain bullying. This original volume will further our understanding of bullying and inform preventative and intervention work. The authors seek to show how research from diverse settings may inform our understanding of the bullying phenomenon as a whole.
Bullying & mobbing: Haciendo visible lo invisible

Este libro te ayudará a reconocer esas situaciones y a actuar. Probablemente recuerdes las bromas pesadas con que te molestaban de niño, o a ese compañero que te hacía la vida imposible; incluso puede que tú le hayas arruinado sistemáticamente los recreos a alguien. Probablemente estés asediado por un compañero de trabajo que te hostiga y te ha quitado las ganas, convirtiendo tu día en un infierno, ante la mirada impávida del entorno. Hay una posibilidad en cinco de que tu hijo esté siendo acosado o esté participando directa o indirectamente del hostigamiento a un compañero. Y es casi seguro que en tu área de trabajo estés presenciando alguna forma de maltrato psicológico.

Ambos están emparentados porque comparten la misma dinámica y porque un chico acosador conduce a un adulto acosador. Las secuelas pueden ser a corto o largo plazo, llegando a causar estrés postraumático y derivar en patologías graves como depresión y pánico, y terminar en suicidio. No obstante, desde la psicología se afirma que hay salida y que es posible cortar con esta espiral de violencia. Este libro te ayudará a reconocer esas situaciones y a actuar. Ya sea porque eres víctima, o porque - quizás sin darte cuenta - eres cómplice de ese juego perverso. También es una herramienta para instituciones educativas y responsables de las organizaciones laborales que bregan por un clima de convivencia saludable y constructivo.
