Workplace Bullying Survey

Zogby Analytics was commissioned by the Workplace Bullying Institute to conduct an online survey of 315 U.S. business leaders in three market areas: San Francisco, New York City and Washington D.C. The survey was completed January 21, 2013. The answers were enlightening.

Which of the following best describes your opinion of “workplace bullying” (repeated abusive conduct, “status-blind harassment” that is currently legal) ?

The percentages for each response option were:

68% agreed – It is a serious problem

17% answered – I never heard of it

15% said – It is irrelevant, a non-issue, bullying affects only children

If so many think it’s a serious problem, why do you think most project managers tell us their organizations are terrible at managing bullying in their workplaces?
