Violence is a fundamental and contemporary preoccupation of
researchers, decision-makers and the general public, but
particularly so within the context of restructuring of African
tertiary education. Through all-inclusive multi-faceted themes;
definition, sources, forms, impacts, coping, and management of
workplace bullying, Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary
Institutions highlights the fact that the latter is no longer a
'myth of the western world' as much as it is now a 'present
reality' within the context of African tertiary institutions.
Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions reveals the
link between workplace bullying and on-going university
restructuring programmes, in which the latter are portrayed as
being executed through a pro-bullying neoliberalist ethos. The
latter is deemed propitious for workplace bullying for the
following reasons: 'comply or perish' rhetoric, intolerance of
dissent and negative criticism of government, individualism and
competitiveness, compromised collegiality and stifled debate,
ever-intensifying workload, short-term contracts, job insecurity,
funding pressures, power imbalances and weakened union power.
Workplace Bullying in African Tertiary Institutions highlights
issues of university restructuring, which are considered propitious
for exacerbating workplace bullying, while proposing strategies,
models, and policies, for understanding and mitigating the ravages
of workplace bullying on staff wellness. Workplace Bullying in
African Tertiary Institutions represents a major contribution to
research and literature in industrial and organizational
psychology, and will be vital for students, researchers, and
professionals in human resource management, national and
international decision-makers, and bodies that strive for the
amelioration of personnel wellness especially within the African
and world contexts of on-going and inevitable university reforms.
