Impact of Workplace Bullying on Work Engagement among Employees of Educational Institutions

Management

This study examines the impact of workplace bullying on work engagement among employees in educational institutions. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey with 100 participants from Rohtak, the research explores the prevalence, forms, and sources of bullying, and its effect on employees' work engagement. Results reveal that while half of the respondents have not recently encountered bullying, significant proportions experience it with varying frequencies. Verbal abuse is the most common form, primarily originating from colleagues. The negative impact on work engagement is evident, with many reporting decreased motivation, increased stress, and reduced job satisfaction. Positive impacts are also noted, suggesting resilience in some cases. Recommendations include implementing clear anti-bullying policies, providing training, and enhancing support systems from management and HR. These measures are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of bullying and improving overall work engagement within educational institutions.
