Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Violence is a fundamental and contemporary preoccupation of researchers, decision-makers and the general public, but particularly so within the context of restructuring of African tertiary education. Through all-inclusive multi-faceted themes; definition, sources, forms, impacts, coping, and management of workplace bullying, Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions highlights the fact that the latter is no longer a 'myth of the western world' as much as it is now a 'present reality' within the context of African tertiary institutions. Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions reveals the link between workplace bullying and on-going university restructuring programmes, in which the latter are portrayed as being executed through a pro-bullying neoliberalist ethos. The latter is deemed propitious for workplace bullying for the following reasons: 'comply or perish' rhetoric, intolerance of dissent and negative criticism of government, individualism and competitiveness, compromised collegiality and stifled debate, ever-intensifying workload, short-term contracts, job insecurity, funding pressures, power imbalances and weakened union power. Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions highlights issues of university restructuring, which are considered propitious for exacerbating workplace bullying, while proposing strategies, models, and policies, for understanding and mitigating the ravages of workplace bullying on staff wellness. Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions represents a major contribution to research and literature in industrial and organizational psychology, and will be vital for students, researchers, and professionals in human resource management, national and international decision-makers, and bodies that strive for the amelioration of personnel wellness especially within the African and world contexts of on-going and inevitable university reforms.
