“…Contrary to this popular belief, some researchers are of the view that as an aftermath of workplace bullying, the victims tend to become resilient (Jackson, Firtko and Edenborough 2007;Van Heugten 2013). Recently, Scheuer et al (2015), in their study examining the mediating role of challenge and hindrance stressors in an abusive supervision and engagement relationship, found that abusive supervision was perceived as an important challenge stressor that promoted engagement in its targets. The authors through multiple studies opened up a bright side to abusive behaviors and called for investigating a positive lens to abusive and other negative workplace behaviors.…”

The present study expands the literature on bullying by unveiling why and when bullying might produce positive outcomes. Employing the cognitive appraisal theory of stress and coping, we hypothesize eustress as an important mechanism through which bullying might enhance the victim's job performance, career success, and creativity. Moreover, we hypothesized psychological capital as a moderator in the workplace bullying-eustress relationship. We collected temporally segregated field data at three time intervals with a time lag of 2-3 weeks from matched data of employees and their fellow peers (n = 321) belonging to the service sector of Pakistan. Utilizing PROCESS macro, the results substantiated our hypothesized moderated mediation model, in that workplace bullying led to higher performance, career success and employee creativity through the mechanism of eustress and this indirect effect was stronger for individuals who possessed higher psychological capital. Our study opens up a new avenue in the workplace bullying literature by emphasizing the different side of bullying in an eastern cultural context.

“…Supervisors who are overworked and also unfamiliar with disability, for example, may not be best placed to support disabled students effectively through the course of the degree. This is one area where the Theory of Job Demands and Job Resources [10] can be fruitfully applied, as an imbalance can lead not only to poor supervision and even abuse [10], but also stress and burnout for both supervisor and student. However, the usual arrangement of two or three supervisors or a panel of supervisors means that a supervisor with the relevant expertise may be appropriately included.…”

“…This needs to encapsulate continuing changes within academia and also consistently give students a competitive edge for careers outside academia. Supervisors, meanwhile, in the commodified academy, are most invested in ensuring the student obtains their doctorate, and their support is shaped by the expectations of university benchmarking and challenging workloads, as encapsulated in the Theory of Job Demands and Available Job Resources [10]. This has the potential to create tension between what the student expects and requires and what the supervisor provides.…”

A doctoral student is someone studying for a doctoral degree, which is generally considered to be the highest academic qualification a university can award. The student develops research experience, while making an in-depth and original contribution to knowledge. They are supervised by university staff members (usually there are two, or a small panel) who train, mentor, and support the doctoral student. Professional and career development refers to support that helps students to not only grow as individuals and independent researchers, but to also have the option to successfully pursue either academic or non-academic roles after graduation. While this entry considers some international contexts, it is particularly oriented to the United Kingdom (UK) model, and to the most common doctoral degree, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
