Volume 15: 2022, pp. 195-210; ABSTRACT
This paper reports the perceptions of students at public four-year institutions through exploring their experiences with workplace bullying in their temporary or part-time positions. Results from four semesters of quantitative data are reviewed as students address common workplace issues related to bullying in the workplace. Results from this study are important as the results bring to light the workplace bullying students face with respect to gender. Almost twice as many female respondents (33.5%) reported being bullied at work, compared to male respondents (18.2%). Chi-square tests show that female employees experience bullying behavior significantly more often than male employees with p-value < 0.00. The study’s practical implications include the use of academic modules teaching workplace civility to give students the tools they need to transition to a fulltime worktime environment. Findings from this study will be helpful to faculty and administrators that are tasked to meet AACBS business curriculum mandates. Business schools are to be training future employees or managers to be inclusive and seek diversity within their work teams.
