The book Power Imbalance, Bullying and Harassment in Academia and
the Glocal (Local and Global) Workplace introduces a candid and
open discussion on a sensitive topic. Breaking the "code of
silence" on bullying and harassment (including sexual harassment)
in academia and the glocal workplace is the central focus of the
book. The author advocates a call to action to hold perpetrators
and the executive leadership teams of higher education institutions
and corporate organizations accountable and responsible for
bullying and harassment behaviors in the glocal (local and global)
workplace. The book aims to raise the bar for ethical
considerations in working with employees who may be vulnerable in
the glocal workplace; to call out the perpetrators of bullying and
harassment in the glocal workplace and academia; to ensure that the
mental wellbeing of employees is a priority; to place
responsibility and accountability for bullying and harassment on
the shoulders of the executive leadership of international higher
education institutions and corporations; and to call upon
stakeholder groups to shatter the "code of silence" with a
youtoobullyharrasser movement. Employers are expected to enhance
their vigilance on the matter of bullying and harassment and to
report perpetrators through a national and international monitoring
system which names the perpetrators and prevents them from causing
harm in their current organization and from moving surreptitiously
to other workplace communities. This book is an account of bullying
and harassment in academia and other workplaces written by those
who experienced and/or witnessed bullying and harassment. It
includes chapters on the political economic factors influencing
equity, diversity and inclusion agendas over decades; the impact of
bullying and harassment in the COVID-19 period when various
communities are vulnerable; and critically reviews and presents
real-life scenarios in academia and the glocal workplace which are
both covert and overt. However, these underhanded activities, often
with the knowledge and approval of executive leadership, remain
unchallenged by employees and stakeholder groups because of the
threat of loss of one's livelihood. The contributors bring valuable
insights into the covert operations of the perpetrators, who are
sometimes the executive leaders (women and men) themselves. This
book is essential for understanding the dark web of deceit, lies,
conspiracies and mobbing cultures which ensnares innocent targets,
across glocal organizational contexts. Profiles and descriptors
within the chapters and case studies act as alert signals to
identify bullies. The contributors bring personal, creative and
academic perspectives together, offering the readership sobering
and authentic accounts of traumatic experiences and challenges in
the glocal workplace.
