, 1.1.
In the workplace, bullying may occur due to power imbalances and competitive
environments. Firstly, hierarchical structures in companies can foster an environment
where those in positions of authority may abuse their power over subordinates, leading to
bullying behaviour.
For example, a manager constantly belittling and criticizing their junior employees could
contribute to a hostile work environment.
Secondly, in competitive industries, employees may feel pressure to outperform their
colleagues, leading to behaviours such as sabotage or spreading rumours to undermine
others. For instance, an employee intentionally withholding important information from a
co-worker to make them look incompetent could be a form of workplace bullying.
1.2.
Firstly, bullying involves the abuse of coercive power and can manifest as aggressive
behaviour causing harm or discomfort to another person. For instance, a supervisor
constantly berating a subordinate in front of their colleagues.
