Creating Positive Corporate Culture to Reduce Workplace Bullying

Laura Persky, Ken Pinnock and I are very pleased to announce our research “Creating Positive Corporate Culture to Reduce Workplace Bullying” has been recognized at the 2024 NYIT Faculty Scholars Awards Program.

This research highlights the problem of workplace bullying and provides suggestions for organizational processes that might prevent it from occurring. The study explains why workplace bullying exists and how certain organizational structures, cultures, or leadership styles can contribute to and reinforce negative behavior. This study includes both qualitative primary and secondary research sources. It provides recommendations for creating a positive work environment by applying organizational virtuousness practices that may inhibit or mitigate negative behaviors. The findings offer diagnostic suggestions and proactive structural efforts that can help minimize the opportunity for bullying.

The paper is available in the Global Journal of Business Research, Vol. 17, No. 1, 2023, pp. 43-53.  https://bbd501.p3cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/GJBR-V17N1-2023-4.pdf
