1.1 In the context of the text, two plausible factors contributing to the prevalence
of workplace bullying are:
Power Dynamics: Workplace hierarchies often create power imbalances where
individuals in positions of authority may misuse their power to exert control over
others. This abuse of power, as described in the text, can lead to bullying
behaviors where individuals or groups exploit their authority to intimidate or
demean subordinates.
Work Environment: The text suggests that a toxic work environment, fostered by
factors like a narcissistic manager, can contribute to the normalization of bullying
behavior. When hostility, discrimination, or degradation become the norm in a
workplace, it can perpetuate a culture where bullying is tolerated or even
encouraged.
Two additional examples contributing to workplace bullying could be:
Competition for Resources or Recognition: In competitive work environments
where there's pressure to perform or excel, individuals may resort to bullying
