Abstract In recent years, bullying has come to the fore front as a major topic affecting almost every person in some shape or form. A lesser acknowledged form of bullying is when it occurs in the workplace. This research seeks to identify which employees are the most prevalent to work place bullying utilizing the quantitative research method. In addition to the quantitative research method, a literature review of past studies and articles that are relevant to this research topic.
The data collection method used was a survey. Three hundred twelve total surveys were distributed in three different companies in three different cities. This survey grouped the participants into Men or Women, Age, Years of Employment, Employee or Management and whether or not they have experienced any form of work place bullying. The data from the survey was categorized and the literature review was used to correlate some of data to the initial problem statement and hypothesis.
The data collected showed that there was not much difference between an employee and management and that the group most likely susceptible to work place bullying was women aged 18-34 and men aged 50+, as there was a difference of two respondents between these groups. It is likely that these two age groupings are the easiest to take advantage of.
