“…and local government a similar experience. Hence, whilst there is research about how reforms have influenced different types of employees in different countries, for example, police in Australia (Brunetto et al, 2015) and nurses in Brazil (Nelson et al, 2014), comparative analysis across countries for the same types of employees is not as common.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare the impact of management and colleagues on the perception of work harassment and outcomes of local government employees in Australia and the USA. Design/methodology/approach – Completed surveys from local government employees (265 from the USA and 250 from Australia) were analysed using structural equation modelling and an ANOVA. Findings – The results depict support for the overall measurement and structural models showing that workplace relationships impact on work harassment, and in turn employee outcomes (psychological wellbeing and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour-Individual (OCB-I)), although not all paths were accepted for each country. Statistically significant differences were found between the Australian and USA samples for both the measurement and structural models, with the sample from the USA showing much higher levels of satisfaction with workplace relationships, higher levels of psychological wellbeing, OCB-I, and lower perceptions of work harassment. Practical implications – The findings provide implications that Australian and US local government employees, positioned closest to the public, experience work harassment probably as a result of chronic under-resourcing both in terms of manpower and other resources, and coupled with unrealistically high-performance targets. The results depict that such work harassment is resulting in lower psychological wellbeing (USA only) and lower extra-role behaviour associated with OCB-I (Australia and USA). Originality/value – The value of this paper is that it benchmarks the impact of workplace relationships on work harassment for local government employees across two Anglo-American countries.

“…Again, to imagine that some of the nurses have been in this work environment for 25 years should be revealing. Although many authors reviewed indicate that experiences of bullying among nurses is pervasive among nurses, none has reported these situations to this level (Gaffney et al, 2012, McMahon, McCurtain, O'Sullivan, Murphy, & Turner, 2019, Hansen, Hogh, Persson, Karlson, Garde, & Orbaek, 2006Nelson et al 2014;Johnson & Boutain, Tai, & de Castro, 2015).…”

“…We hope to ascertain the institutional practices that may be of assistance to the employees who may be experiencing bullying. Various studies indicate that clear policies, collaborative work environment, level of organizational tolerance, and development of specific strategies for helping staff subjected to such experiences go a long to ameliorate the experiences (Gaffney et al, 2012;Meires, 2018;Kang & Lee, 2016;Berry et al 2012;Agarwal, 2018;Hansen et al 2006;Norton et al 2017;Khubuchandani & Price, 2015;Nelson et al, 2014;Johnson, Boutain, Tsai, & de Catro, 2019).…”

PURPOSE: The study was aimed at determining the self-reported experiences of the nurses in the major Island hospital in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas with regard to workplace bullying and their assessment of the support they received following the experience. METHODS: A descriptive quantitative case study was undertaken using all the registered nurses in the Island Hospital. The study utilized a modified pre-validated instrument from the International Labour Office (ILO), International Council of Nurses (ICN), World Health Organization (WHO), and Public Services International (PSI). Analysis was done using the SPSS version 20. The result was presented as frequencies. RESULTS: Eighty-one (81) respondents completed and returned their copies of the questionnaire giving a response rate of 97.5%. Also, 85.2% of the respondents reported having moderate bullying experience while 14.8% reported having maximum bullying experience. As it relates to the self-reported support for bullying, 60.5% of the respondents indicated that they received little support following a bullying experience. Further, 39.5% reported that they received some support following a bullying experience. There was no significant relationship between the respondents’ demographics and their self-reported experience of bullying or support following a bullying experience (p≤ 0.05). RECOMMENDATION/DISCUSSION: Among others, we recommended that a more deliberate policy instrument be developed for dealing with cases of bullying and to monitor the use of this instrument, noting that the mental health of the nurses are also at risk. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that bullying was reportedly high while measures to support staff were reportedly low, a combination the investigators see as concerning in the Island Hospital.

“…Os dados de Nelson et al 32 , coletados em estudo com uma equipe de enfermagem, mostram a necessidade da gestão dos serviços de saúde promover ações de cuidado à saúde dos trabalhadores e desenvolver medidas de recursos humanos para o enfrentamento do AMT. Sendo o AMT considerado um abuso de poder, com humilhações e intimidações que prejudicam a trajetória profissional e a saúde dos(as) trabalhadores(as), são necessárias políticas de prevenção e coibição da violência.…”
