Several studies have examined workplace bullying in the general
population or in the K-12 student population. This book examines
the manifestation of workplace bullying in American Higher
Education Administration. After surveying over 175 four-year
colleges and universities in an independent study, Hollis confirms
that workplace bullying occurs at alarming rates in higher
education. Further, this study calculates the cost of employee
disengagement. Staff who have been bullied either seek to separate
from an institution or mentally "check out" as a way of enduring a
bully. In the midst of souring tuition costs, no organization can
afford the millions of dollars lost to employee disengagement due
to a bully. After gathering data through surveys and several
interviews with administrators in higher education, Hollis develops
a model for a healthy workplace specifically for higher education,
which is also applicable to the general population. The model
offers solutions for the leadership and organizational level,
middle managers, and for the bullies who are seeking healthier
management strategies. While this book is an academic study, the
writing is accessible, reflects on popular culture at times, and
considers the urgency of workplace bullying in relationship to
cost, potential accreditation issues, and the personal anguish of
the target. The findings and solutions are appropriate for
executive leadership, middle management or anyone working in higher
education.
It is the job of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to
address private sector job bias complaints alleging discrimination
based on disability, religion, and/or national origin and weed them
out of the American workplace. Yet, in recent years, such
complaints have hit record highs. Inside the volumes of statistics
are personal stories, personal disappointments, and personal
consternation. Unequal Opportunity presents the barbed kernels of
EEOC incidents, complaints, and issues and demonstrates that
however much enforcement the government may bring to bear,
discrimination still exists, and is still disrupting the lives of
those on the front line of the battle. Some of these stories
resulted in settlements, while others simply moved on with the scar
of discrimination embossed on their psyche. In all cases, the lives
of complainants and defendants were changed forever. These stories
represent a cross-section of the race, age, and gender
discrimination that women of all colors face while trying to
perform a solid day's work in America. This book is not intended to
give legal advice, but is intended to provide insight to trends
based on the interviews and stories of women who have endured such
hardships.
