Workplace Bullies – Defined / Information

 

“The common stereotype of a bullied person is someone who is weak, socially isolated, or a loner. On the contrary, the adult target chosen by an adult bully, his will very often be a capable staff member well liked by co-workers.

Adult Bully - Adult bullies, like their schoolyard counterparts, tend to be insecure people with poor social skills and little empathy. They turn this insecurity outwards, finding satisfaction in their ability to attack and diminish the capable people around them”, states Ross.
 
 

Recent research found that Adult Bullies often pick on people with an ability to cooperate and a non-confrontational interpersonal style. The bully considers their capability a threat, and determines to cut them down. Bullying is about control.

A workplace bully subjects his or her target to unjustified criticism and trivial fault-finding. In addition, he or she humiliates the target, especially in front of others, and ignores, overrules, isolates and excludes or shuns the target.
 

 
 
At Kamaron Institute, we define workplace bullying as repeated, health-impairing behaviors such as, includes, verbal abuse, work interference, work dumping, shunning, gossip, cyber bullying and conduct that is threatening, humiliating or intimidating.

Studies show that as many as 45 percent of American workers have experienced some form of harassment or abusive treatment during their careers.
