Rather than relying on broad generalizations, the cases are used to deepen our understanding of bullying as an institutional issue. Through this practical approach, the chapter offers fresh insights into how IO psychology theory can be applied to sector-specific challenges, emphasizing that workplace well-being cannot be sustained without confronting underlying organizational dysfunction.

摘要

This chapter transitions from theoretical frameworks to practical insights by examining workplace bullying across different sectors. Case studies from the healthcare, technology, and education industries demonstrate how organizational structures, rather than individual intent, drive harmful behaviours. The analysis highlights how power dynamics, silence, and leadership failures intersect to weaken psychological safety. Rather than relying on broad generalizations, the cases are used to deepen our understanding of bullying as an institutional issue. Through this practical approach, the chapter offers fresh insights into how IO psychology theory can be applied to sector-specific challenges, emphasizing that workplace well-being cannot be sustained without confronting underlying organizational dysfunction. Ultimately, the chapter contributes to a growing call for comprehensive, preventative, and leadership-focused strategies to reduce and prevent workplace bullying.
