Workplace bullying is an area that has attracted significant press attention throughout the last decade. A variety of well publicized surveys have revealed that this is an issue endemic in working life in Britain; and, at a conservative estimate, over half the working population can expect to experience bullying at work (either directly by being bullied, or through witnessing it) at some stage in their careers. This is now seen to be a disturbing event, with something like a fifth of witnesses and a quarter of direct targets leaving their organizations.This serious damage to individuals has been accorded little direct research in Britain, although it has resulted in court cases brought under health and safety and equal opportunities legislation. The recognition of the problem and the emergence of court cases, have both served to focus employers on the need to deal with the issue. The recent strike vote at Ford in Dagenham, asking the employer to enforce existing anti-harassment policies, highlights the fact that having paper policies is not enough. Workplace Bullying is derived from the largest survey ever carried out on workplace bullying, supported by the CBI, TUC, Federation of Small Businesses, IPD, and the HSE among others. This study covered 5,500 people, but the book goes beyond it to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a major issue in organizations.

Building on the success of two earlier best-selling editions from 2003 and 2011, this benchmark text and highly cited reference work now appears in its third edition. This book is a research-based resource on key aspects of workplace bullying and its remediation, which:

Covers the nature and complexities of bullying and harassment in the workplace

Presents the evidence on its prevalence, risk groups, antecedents and outcomes

Examines cyberbullying and harassment in the digital world

Describes the roles of bystanders and the coping possibilities of victims

Discusses prevention, intervention, treatment and the management of specific cases

Explains legal perspectives, the role of HR and of internal policies

Edited by leading experts in the field and presenting contributions from subject experts, it provides state-of-the-art reviews of the main themes in the field, as well as practical remedies and solutions at individual, organizational and societal levels, providing a much-needed update and expansion of the original work, as the research and literature on this problem with its manifold detrimental effects has expanded radically over the last decade. This book should be of interest to all scholars in the field of organizational behavior and social processes at work. In particular, the book is a much-needed tool for bachelor, master and PhD students, new and experienced researchers in the field, advanced practitioners and policy makers, including labor inspectors, union representatives, HR-personnel, lawyers, management consultants, and counsellors in private practice, family physicians and occupational health practitioners, to name a few.

Los entornos laborales representan un intrincado conjunto de relaciones interpersonales que influyen en el bienestar y la salud de las personas dentro y fuera del contexto laboral. Las conversaciones cotidianas en el trabajo son parte de la actividad diaria, y un vehículo de transmisión de información sobre la vida personal y profesional. Compartir un entorno físico con compañeros, supervisores o clientes nos lleva a hablar acerca de nuestros intereses, actividades en el tiempo libre, relaciones que forman parte del entorno familiar y personal, etc. Estos diálogos cotidianos que conducen a revelar detalles de nuestra vida extralaboral promueven relaciones que van más allá de lo profesional. Históricamente, algunos colectivos como las personas LGBT (lesbianas, gais, bisexuales y transexuales) han tenido que ser más cautelosos a la hora de compartir información sobre su vida personal y extralaboral, por el temor a ser estigmatizadas. Teniendo en cuenta esta situación, los autores del libro abordan esta temática desde su experiencia en el estudio y la promoción de organizaciones inclusivas y analizan las dinámicas de coming out o salida del armario en el contexto laboral español. Exploran en qué medida los valores y las creencias tradicionalmente aceptadas en España influyen en las experiencias actuales de las personas LG en el trabajo. Abordan, además, los principales cambios legislativos que afectan a dichos colectivos en su contexto laboral. La segunda parte se orienta al análisis del proceso de coming out en el que las personas LG revelan su orientación sexual en el trabajo. Para abordar uno de los momentos más significativos de la vida laboral de estas personas, los autores introducen la teoría de las fronteras (Boundary Theory) como marco teórico para conocer la situación en España e identificar el rol que desempeñan terceras partes (compañeros de trabajo, supervisores, etc.) a la hora de facilitar u obstaculizar dicho proceso.

Faktaundersökning är en metodik för att hantera svåra arbetsmiljöproblem, till exempel destruktivt ledarskap, allvarliga konflikter, tystnadskultur, kränkande särbehandling och mobbning. Metodiken utgår från ett återställande perspektiv och är baserad på arbetsmiljölagstiftningen samt juridiska krav på rättssäkerhet och generella principer för god ärendehantering. Metoden tar också hänsyn till grundläggande psykologiska perspektiv. I boken presenteras hur en faktaundersökning genomförs och vilka system och rutiner organisationer bör ha för att uppfylla arbetsmiljölagstiftningens krav på ett systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete inom detta område.Denna reviderade upplaga inkluderar ny forskning, tydliggör betydelsen av en stegvis bedömning av utsatthet respektive ansvar samt beskriver betydelsen av att bedöma eventuell utsatthet på arbetsplatsen bredare och inte endast utifrån begreppet kränkande särbehandling.Boken vänder sig till universitetsstudenter inom till exempel personalarbete och organisationspsykologi, liksom till professionella såsom chefer, fackligt engagerade, jurister, revisorer, skyddsombud och personer verksamma inom HR/personalarbete och företagshälsovård.
