Abstract
This annotated bibliography discusses bullying and harassment
in the workplace and its effects on performance, attitudes, and
emotions. Most people, no matter the work industry, have
experienced some form of bullying or harassment. There are not
many laws or restrictions that deal with bullying, as it is often
difficult to prove that it is happening. The workplace can be
very stressful without bullying or harassment, but with its
addition, it can make the workplace even more stressful. This
bibliography will also examine the negative effects of bullying
on an employee’s health. Workplace bullying can be negative
and detrimental to one’s health and the organizational climate.
Keywords: bullying, workplace, health

Literature Review Outline
I. Introduction
a. The topic of the literature review is workplace bullying and
harassment and how it affects performance, attitudes, and
emotions. Workplace bullying is repeated, health-harming
mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or
more perpetrators. Examining the interactive effects of gender
on workplace bullying helps to provide a better understanding
of the potential influence of gender in bullying scenarios
(McCormack, Djurkovic, Nsubuga-Kyobe, & Casimir, 2018).
This topic is very important to research study because
workplace bullying is known to happen, but it has not declined,
instead it seems to be rising.

b. The themes and trends from the readings and research is that
workplace bullying is negative (Glaso, L., & Notelaters, G.,
2012, p. 362). The articles show that bullying behaviors
involve a range of negative behaviors directed at a target. These
behaviors are often convert and non-verbal, and can be task
related or personal attacks (Northhcott, R., 2011, p. 14).
II. Theme One
a. The themes are recognizing the behaviors of bullying. Verbal
behaviors are Persistent complaining: ugly speech, which is
unbecoming and unprofessional, arguing; a more aggressive
form of complaining which serves to anger all those involved.
Personal abuse, which are remarks to demean someone’s person.
No personified abuse, which are angry remarks directed at the
general work environment. Negative sarcasm at the expense of
coworkers, leadership, or the general workplace area (Olmstead,
J., 2013, p. 54).
Nonverbal behaviors which are actions demanding repeated
instructions from a supervisor to complete a task. Purposefully
not participating in actions that require teamwork. Injecting
tension into the workplace, sometimes termed Passive
aggression (Olmstead, J., 2013, p. 54).
b. Sub-theme- Job satisfaction, work related depression,
psychological well-being as it relates to workplace bullying
(Devonish, D., 2013, p. 630).
i. Job satisfaction and wellbeing have an important role in the
relationship between workplace bullying and employee
performance (Devonish, D., 2013, p. 641)
ii. Several studies have verified that increased stress and mental
distress are possible psychological aftermaths of workplace

bullying even up to two years later. Investigators have also
identified sleep disturbances, major depression, mood, and
anxiety (Sansone, R., & Sansone, L., 2015, p. 32).
iii. The connection between workplace bullying and
deterioration in mental health, increased levels of self-reported
stress, various psychosomatic conditions, lessened self-
confidence and increased sick leave (Oxenstierna, G. et al,
2012, p. 180).
c. Sub-theme-Workplace bullying as Workplace Corruption
i. Misuse of organizational resources. Such as but not limited to
resources that are informational, technological, policy and
procedural, financial, temporal, structural, physical, and/or
human (Vickers, M., 2013, p. 102)
ii. Misuse of informational resources is a form of workplace
corruption that includes improper use of, or attempts to
improperly use, any organizational resources (Vickers, M.,
2013, p. 102)
iii. Misuse of human resources which include blocking
employment opportunities such as higher duty opportunities,
promotions, and senior roles (Vickers, M., 2013, p. 102)
d. Sub-theme-How gender and races are differently perceived
when they are bullied.
i. The social construction of gender affects the frequency,
duration, and type of bullying that women experience (Gilbert,
J.A., et al, 2013, p. 80)
ii. Asian, African-American, and Hispanic groups indicted
higher levels of workplace bullying than whites (Gilbert, J.A.,
et al, 2013, p. 80)

iii. Women have a narrower band of acceptable behaviors than
men (Gilbert, J.A., et al, 2013, p. 80)
III. Theme B. Effects of Workplace bullying on job productivity
and personnel
a. Sub-theme-Impact on productivity
i.
Absenteeism, turnover, higher insurance premiums and
litigation are but a few harmful impacts of workplace bullying
on productivity (Chekwa, & Thomas, 2013, p. 46).
ii.
Studies show that bulling in the workplace is associated with
lower job satisfaction (Glaso, & Notelaers, 2012, p. 361).
iii.
The consequences are severe in dealing with workplace bullying
in relation to intention to leave an organization
IV. Theme C. Recognizing Workplace Bullying
c. Sub-theme-define workplace bullying
i. The repeated nature of a behavior overtime, the negative
impact it has on the targeted person, the difficulty the target
person has in defending themselves, and the perpetrator uses
their power to psychologically destabilize the target. Thus
bullying is a deliberate series of actions with the malicious
intent to do harm (Kemp, v., 2014, 365).
ii. Workplace bullying is harassment, mobbing, scapegoating,
social exclusion, humiliation, workplace abuse and workplace
mistreatment (Kemp, v., 2014, 365).

iii. Workplace bullying is the repeated, unreasonable actions of
individuals or a group directed towards an employee, which are
intended to intimidate, degrade, humiliate, or undermine or
create a risk to the health or safety of the employee (Longton,
S., 2014, 243).
V. Conclusion and Recommendations
a. What are the contributions of the literature to understanding
the work?
The literature in the journal articles were informative and aided
in the scope of the research that was presented with concise
facts and information. The readings sought to inform the reader
on Workplace bullying in all forms and aspects presented. In
each article the purpose of the works were clearly defined and
laid the foundation for the studies conducted.
b. What are the overall strengths?
The strengths of the literature are that the research seeks to
provide much needed knowledge on the subject of workplace
bullying. The research attempted to acknowledge that workplace
bullying is real and the issue should not be ignored in the
workplace.
c. What are the weaknesses?
The weaknesses in the research and was stated clearly several
times is that there is no clear defined definition of workplace
bullying. The concept is made of theories.
d. What might be missing?

In the literature, there was a lack of evidence of clear
defined laws to
help end the effects of workplace bullying. In addition to the
lack of support in the legal since more studies are needed to
draw additional conclusive information
to support the need to end bullying in the workplace. As stated
earlier the literature on work place bullying is in desperate need
of a clearly defined meaning of workplace bullying.
