Bullying is a topic that is seen in every institution from the time a child starts school all
the way through adulthood. University Medical Center (UMC), in Lubbock Texas, is no
different. On our newly implemented Human Resource (HR) exit surveys, UMC has seen
several instances where staff bullying was mentioned as reasons staff had decided to leave the

intimidating, that can interfere with or prevent work, verbal abuse, or mistreatment of one or
multiple persons, by one or multiple offenders (Workplace Bullying Institute [WBI], 2018).

can have on coworkers. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an annotated bibliography
which will summarize ten sources that address workplace bullying.
