“…First, WB can lower the self-esteem of employees. Both bullying that comes from superiors and colleagues can lead to the frustration of employees and lower self-esteem, and this type of "critical" aggression will undoubtedly reduce the PS of employees (Ouimet, 2013;Nguyen et al, 2017;Arnetz et al, 2019b). Therefore, after being bullied in the workplace, employees often choose to keep silent to prevent the harm caused by continuous resource loss.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between workplace bullying (WB) and employee silence (ES) as well as its mechanism. This paper collects data from 322 employees of three Chinese enterprises in two waves, with a 2 months interval between the two waves. Moreover, this paper uses confirmatory factor analysis, a bootstrapping mediation test, a simple slope test, and other methods to verify the hypothesis. We find that: (1) WB is positively correlated with ES; (2) psychological safety (PS) and affective commitment mediated the relationship between WB and ES, respectively, and these two variables have a chain mediating effect in the above relationship; and (3) a forgiveness climate moderates this chain mediating effect by weakening the negative impact of WB on PS. Our findings can effectively guide organizations to ultimately adjust their management style, pay attention to employees’ cognitive and emotional resources, and formulate some measures to curb WB in organizations.

“…Hoffman and Chunta (2015) highlighted the role of nurse managers in raising awareness with staff and the importance of addressing bullying immediately it is reported.

Individual nurse empowerment: A concept analysis

Aim: This concept analysis aims to distinguish the concept of nurse empowerment as an individual professional process rather than a job-related process and to identify ways in which a clarified understanding of individual empowerment can impact the discipline.Background: The history of nursing as a gendered role has led to oppression in the profession as evidenced by lateral violence and attrition. Empowerment initiatives that focus on a nurse within an organization often provide false power.Design: Walker and Avant's method was used for this concept analysis. Data Source: Published literature from 1990 to 2019 was identified from electronic health profession-related databases, and current definitions and uses of empowerment were pulled from empirical works and electronic databases. Review Methods: A review of abstracts and full text from articles relating to nurse empowerment was performed, and empirical studies used to provide an understanding of the concept as used today. Results: True empowerment entails a nurse controlling her practice and career. Elements of individual empowerment can be pulled from existing work on structural and psychological empowerment. Conclusions: Analyzing nurse empowerment from an individual perspective allows us to move beyond the oppressive history of nursing and move the profession forward to impact our communities. K E Y W O R D S concept analysis, professional issues, workforce "What matters is that nurses determine for themselves how to handle their problems and how to improve their situation through meaningful dialog and engagement with nurse leaders concerning their work-life issues." 1 Concept analysis is the process of assessing fundamental components of a concept with the goal of clarifying its applications and giving it greater ability to convey meaning in different contexts. 2 Concept analysis allows us to understand the ways the concept is used in literature and science and how those uses dynamically change over time. The analysis should provide a basis for advancement, refinement, and specification of a concept and provide the foundation for the use of the concept in theory. Walker and Avant's 2 method was chosen for this concept analysis because the deliberate and concrete steps allow us to pinpoint specific uses of individual or professional empowerment and use an iterative process to reinforce the findings. The process dictates a total of eight steps: select a concept, establish aims of analysis, identify uses of the concept, determine defining attributes, identify a model case, identify borderline and illegitimate cases, identify antecedents and consequences, and define empirical referents. 2
