Workplace Bullying on Academic Female Workers of Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of LUAWMS, Uthal

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of workplace bullying on academic performance of female workers of higher education institutions. Female employees who work in various departments and fields under various supervisors have a significant place at universities. The effects of workplace bullying on female academic employees at higher education institutions are addressed by this study. The mixed method of research served as the foundation for this study. This study's target population included all female employees, department heads, deans, and teachers. A sample of the six faculties has been chosen. The information was gathered using a carefully thought-out questionnaire. The information was gathered from a few LUAWMS faculties. There are five items in the interview and nearly thirty in the questionnaire for this survey-based data collection method. SPSS and statistical software were used to carry out the analysis process. The study's findings support the association between workplace bullying and female vulnerability, as well as the factors that contribute to workplace bullying, as documented in the literature. Women who work long hours for the benefit of the organization are particularly vulnerable and are more likely to be harassed by men and other coworkers.
