“…Workplace bullying impacts women worldwide, with a broad range of health, social, and economic issues (Van De Griend & Messias, ). When considering gender, women's experiences of bullying manifest as visible (physical) and/or invisible (psychological) consequences (Sojo, Wood, & Genat, ).…”

Bullying has been a serious social issue in contemporary society. Traditionally, bullying has been examined in various social contexts and different populations including academic, community, and workplace settings. In recent years, although there has been an increasing number of publications about women's experiences of harassment and sexual assaults at work, there has not been much research that specifically focuses on women and women's experiences of workplace bullying. The purpose of this article was to explore women's experiences of workplace bullying from a content analysis of the literature published between 2000 and 2017 on workplace bullying. While 180 peer‐reviewed published journal articles were initially identified, 53 of them met the inclusion criteria for the study. Four main themes emerged: 1) women's health, 2) social relationship, 3) work environment, and 4) victimization. Discussion of the findings and implications for research and practice for adult education, HROD, and workplace education will be provided.

“…Additionally, compared with other forms of violence, internal and psychological violence is more strongly associated with organizational factors (Arnetz, Hamblin, Sudan, & Arnetz, 2018;Kwan, Tuckey, & Dollard, 2016;Van De Griend & Messias, 2014;Zhang et al, 2017); therefore, the associations between workplace violence and health can be confounded by organizational psychosocial work conditions. Psychosocial work conditions were reported to be associated with many stress-related disorders (Nieuwenhuijsen, Bruinvels, & Frings-Dresen, 2010); however, these conditions have rarely been considered in previous studies analysing the relationship between workplace violence and health.…”

Aims To examine the associations between different workplace violence sources and health outcome in nurses. Background Workplace violence is a major threat to nurses’ physical and mental health. Other workers in the health sector, patients and visitors can cause workplace violence. To effectively prevent workplace violence‐related health problems, the differential impact of internal and external violence needs to be explored. Designs A cross‐sectional survey of 1,690 fully employed female nurses. Methods A self‐administered questionnaire was used to record the nurses’ experiences of workplace violence, including types (physical, psychological, verbal and sexual) and sources (internal and external) of violence. Data on psychosocial work conditions including work shift, psychological job demands, job control and workplace justice, were also collected. The nurses’ health condition was measured using the 5‐item Brief Symptom Rating Scale and Self‐Rated Health Scale and multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the associations between workplace violence and health. The study was carried out in 2015–2016. Results Sixty percent of the internal workplace violence was psychological and verbal and adverse psychosocial work conditions were associated with workplace violence. After adjustment for demographic characteristics and psychosocial work conditions, internal workplace violence resulted in higher risks of poor self‐rated health and mental health than did external workplace violence, particularly in nurses who had experienced psychological and verbal violence. Conclusion Internal workplace violence in the form of psychological and verbal violence had a stronger effect on nurses’ health than did external workplace violence. Organization‐level measures should be implemented to prevent internal violence.

“…There is little to no research examining the interactions of these observer characteristics on perceptions of sexual harassment. Indeed, several researchers have highlighted the need to study multiple minority group memberships in research on sexual harassment (Arlee et al, 2019;Brassel et al, 2020;Richardson & Taylor, 2009;Van De Griend & Hilfinger Messias, 2014). Research on intersectionality, double jeopardy, and minority stress theory, however, suggests that people who are members of multiple marginalized minority groups experience more harassment in general, and more sexual harassment specifically.…”

This study examined different perceptions of sexual harassment behaviors in a workplace setting, based on the characteristics of the person observing harassment. Participants rated they extent to which they detected sexual harassment across a series of vignettes of varying levels of sexual harassment ambiguity. Participants’ (observers of the sexual harassment) gender, race, sexual orientation, and whether the individual had received sexual harassment training were examined. Interactions among these observer characteristics were also examined, in order to examine differences in perceptions of sexual harassment related to observers’ membership in intersectional groups. The results of the study indicated differences among perceptions in sexual harassment associated with the observers’ gender, sexual orientation, race, and sexual harassment training. A number of significant interactions were observed. Implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.
