Lived experiences of coporate bullying

Abstract

Corporate bullying is a social phenomenon that impacts negatively on employee wellness, relationships in the workplace, and on family well-being. The aim of this qualitative study was to understand the lived experiences of the employees regarding corporate bullying and the influence it has on them. The objectives were: (a) to explore and describe the understanding and experience of the employees who were victims/survivors of bullying in the workplace; (b) to construct meaning by interpreting perceptions about the phenomenon through conversations about bullying in the workplace and illustrate the perceived gaps in implementation of policies by organisations.
