User:Texley/Workplace bullying

Bullying in the medical profession is common, particularly of student or trainee doctors. In a study on the violence that occurs in healthcare, it was found that from 2002-2013 alone the occurrence of abuse became four times as likely.[1] It is thought that this is at least in part an outcome of conservative traditional hierarchical structures and teaching methods in the medical profession which may result in a bullying cycle.[citation needed]


According to Faghihi, some abusive workplace behaviors include:[2]

  1. Excessive workload
  2. Placement in an area where there is less experience or uncomfortable
  3. Low salary
  4. Working overtime without benefits
  5. Poor work environment
  6. Increase in stress in the workplace
  7. Lack of facilities


Researcher Tamara Parris discusses how employers need to be more attentive in managing various discordant behaviors such as bullying in the workplace, as they not only create a financial cost to the organization, but also erode the company's human resource assets.[3][4] In an effort to bring about change in the workplace, Flynn discusses how employers need to not only support regulations set in place but also need to support their staff when such instances occur.[5]
