Proposal Description
This presentation discusses media representations of workplace bullying. We often spend more time with the people we work with and our social media outlets, than our own families or friends, so it just makes sense to take a closer look at workplace bullying and media. Workplace bullying is a topic that becomes uncomfortable quickly. It seems no one wants to listen when someone wants to share of the abuse or trauma they experience at work. We often shut down and feel as if it is almost 'too personal'; even find ourselves demeaning or belittling 'the complaint'. Yet workplace bullying is a global phenomenon, and needs attention. It is well know that media effect is something to not take lightly. Researchers have long examined influence of media on children, adults, culture, and more. With the proliferation of what we know as media, down to the hand held devices that consume our almost every thought, feeling, and action, it is more important than ever to look more closely at its relationship with bullying at work.
