摘要

This research study considers whether the adoption of managerialism strategies within higher education institutions across the world has diminished the influence of societal culture on workplace bullying, thereby exacerbating its harmful effects on employees. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are used to understand the influence of societal culture on the occurrence of workplace bullying within academic working environments. Dialectic phenomenology, and empirical findings in the form of in-depth qualitative interviews with academics in the United States of America (USA) and India generate interesting insights on variations, if any, pertaining to “why”, “who”, “how” and the “outcome of” workplace bullying within managerialist inspired academic environments across two diverse cultural contexts. This paper provides compelling evidence that societal culture may have a minimal impact on the occurrence of workplace bullying. On the contrary, academic workplaces across the world might be uniform in terms of operations and outcomes, showing a consistent preference for managerialism strategies that can be held responsible for the proliferation of unhampered workplace bullying.
