Workplace Bullying. Impacts on Organizational Culture

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: A14, University of Wales, Newport, language: English, abstract: This text discusses the impacts of workplace bullying on organizational culture and ways to promote it. Today, the pressure on employees constantly grows. On the one hand automation leads to cutoffs in employment; on the other hand the internalization of companies often results in hiring foreign workers, thus diversity increases. In the last few years, the economic crisis additionally has increased the pressure. However, neither the automation nor the internalization can be prevented. If the company does not act punctually and supports the employees adequately to cope with the pressure, workplace bullying may arise.
