Although not typical organizational crises, chronic stressors like workplace bullying have the capacity to shatter assumptions and create significant disruption. This paper reviews literature linking organizational climate, workplace bullying, and posttraumatic stress symptoms, and presents a research case study that explores hypotheses raised by the review. Results showed: (1) that workplace bullying impacted upon posttraumatic stress symptoms; and that psychosocial organizational climate was (2) related to the occurrence of workplace bullying and (3) moderated the impact of bullying on posttraumatic stress symptoms. Given the contribution of organizational climate to the development of bullying and its effects, the paper concludes with guidelines to develop climates conducive to emplo...

Jada Robinson of Roanoke walks home from the bus stop with earbuds from an MP3 player stuck in her ears. Her bangs are brushed down and partially hide her eyes. The girl, not quite a teenager, wears black lipstick and nail polish. At 12 years old, Jada is 5 feet 7 inches tall. One might think her stature would deter her sixth-grade peers from picking on her. But Jada's mother said children targeted Jada throughout elementary school, not because of the girl's height - but seemingly just out of meanness. The bullying became so extreme this academic year at James Madison Middle School that Jada threatened suicide.
The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau, located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the launch of the ``Stop Bullying Video Challenge.''

Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. The Federal Partners for Bullying Prevention is a Federal workgroup which is comprised of 9 departments, with 34 offices within those 9 departments, dedicated to preventin...
The focus of this study is on the forms in which the bullying of school teachers by students manifests itself, the characteristics of the students who engage in the bullying, and the manner in which the students who engage in bullying behave in their own peer relationships. The data was gathered from primary and lower secondary school teachers by means of an Internet survey. The answers of 70 teachers who had experienced bullying by their students are examined. The teachers had been exposed to different forms of bullying by students. They had typically been bullied by male students. In most cases, the bullying had been perpetrated by an individual student or a small group of students. According to the teachers' assessment, the majority of the students who bullied them also bullied their...
Anti-bullying activist in town for talks this week At a glance
DALLAS, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today kicks off National Wireless Safety Week, which marks a good opportunity for parents to talk to their teens about top wireless safety issues, such as texting while driving, sexting and online bullying. In fact, a new national survey commissioned by MetroPCS shows that most parents (82 percent) already think about these issues when it comes to their teens, and around half (58 percent) consider wireless safety to be a major concern. The online survey was conducted May 21-24, 2010 with 1,000 parents of teens who have a cell phone with a texting plan. Most parents said that texting while driving is their top wireless safety concern, followed by sexting and bullying. Additional findings include the following:
The state's new anti-bullying law is changing the way schools operate -- creating apprehension as it seeks to regulate students' behavior on and off campus and requiring lots of administrative time and paperwork. In Clifton, the head of the state's largest high school says he has time for little else. In Ridgewood, a middle-schooler who insulted his friend's intelligence now has the incident on his permanent record. And in the small Dumont district, more than 300 hours have been spent implementing the law since it went into effect Sept. 1.
The anti-bullying policies at Williamsville and other suburban Buffalo school districts don't go far enough, national bullying experts said Thursday, four days after the suicide of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer of Amherst. You can't just vaguely put something out there and say bullying is not nice," said Chris Hampton, a bullying expert with the American Civil Liberties Union, who reviewed the anti-bullying policy common to local suburban districts.
I don't have a sense for it, and that tells me something," said [Karen Echeverr]ía. "We provide policy services to more than 80 of Idaho's 115 school districts and about half of the charter schools. We also provide legal services. I've been here for almost five years now and I can tell you that I've never had a school district contact me on the topic [of bullying]. "We're receiving emails from across the state and it's heartbreaking," said [Nicole LeFavour]. "We have a role in the public safety of our children and parents need to know that schools are safe," said LeFavour. "We'll work against it on the House side," said Echeverría. "There may not even be any time to consider it. But if it goes over to the House, we'll be there to discuss our same concerns."
