Abstract

This research aims to highlight the problem of workplace bullying and provide suggestions for organizational processes that might prevent it from occurring. The study explains why workplace bullying exists and how certain organizational structures, cultures, or leadership styles can contribute to and reinforce negative behavior. This study includes both qualitative primary and secondary research sources. It provides recommendations for creating a positive work environment by applying organizational virtuousness practices that may inhibit or mitigate negative behaviors. The findings will offer diagnostic suggestions and proactive structural efforts that can help minimize the opportunity for bullying.
