Researchon office bullying continues to take place ever since the firstinvestigations were conducted in the late 1970s (Branch, Ramsay, &Barker, 2013). Workplace bullying has a tendency to become the mostutilized term, especially when researchers carry out investigationson bosses mistreating their workers. For over twenty years,researchers have made significant advances in creating reasonableclarity, structures, and hypothetical clarifications that clarify andaddress this exceptionally perplexing, yet regularly misrepresentedand misconstrued wonder. Undoubtedly, workplace bullying is presentlybetter comprehended with reliable research discoveries that areconnected to its commonness its negative impact on organizationalobjectives and viability (Branch, Ramsay, & Barker, 2013). Theliterature review on tormenting in general shows that supervisors whohave a tendency to be stern in the working environment are the oneswho carry out the bullying, however, there are still prominentcrevices with regards to the topic of what encourages such activitiesin the office. For instance, there is no data which openly explainswhy some mid-level and top managers in an association feel obliged tobully their juniors (Herschcovis & Barling, 2010). Because thefinance industry is a sector that employees a lot of people, itoffers a good sample for investigating the research problem of whyfemale managers engage in workplace bullying and identifying possiblesolutions to the issue.
Eventhough the basic establishments of workplace tormenting are not fullyanalyzed in this literature review, there is abundant proof whichproposes that this conduct detrimentally affects representatives`confidence, profitability, and general results of the association(Carbo & Hughes, 2010). Given this reality, it is important tocomprehend that if a manager is stern or just a bully, then juniorrepresentatives will not carry out their obligations well and as aresult, organizational productivity might be ruined. In light of thiscomprehension, by concentrating on the finance industry, it will beconceivable to give a point by point comprehension of this marvel andgive rise to potential arrangements that could be executed to addressthe issue.
Acomprehension of workplace bullying increases the well-being andreduces medical expenses for casualties. Tormented workers normallysuffer from physical and mental issues including sadness,psychosomatic side effects, post-traumatic anxiety, and coronaryillness. Workplace harassing is common around the world, withpredominance rates of 46.8%, 24.1%, and 15.8%, which happen onceevery week in American, Finnish, and Danish employee reviews,respectively (Linton & Power, 2012). This ongoing prevalenceshows that researchers have been unable to find a longstandingsolution to the issue. It could be partly attributed to the fact thatthey examine the issue from a general and objective perspectiveinstead of a subjective view. Research usually focuses on thepossible consequences of staff bullying on the organization suchinvestigations lead to objective findings. This research will tacklethe problem by being more subjective and focusing on those peopledirectly affected by office tormenting. Different employees from thefinance industry will give their views on the topic – the greaterthe number of participants, the more accurate the data collected.
Inconclusion, this research focuses on the problem of female bosses whobully their juniors and tries to come up with a solution. Beforedealing with the issue, it is important to find out how widespreadthe problem actually is it happens daily in America and Europe.Additional investigations show that most research focuses on theeffects of workplace bullying instead of the people affected by themenace. This paper investigates workplace bullies from employeeperspectives in the finance industry.
