Abstract Harassment comes in many forms, including workplace bullying, and despite efforts to date to address this serious issue, reported rates of incidents continue to rise. Considering the organisational hierarchy structure from the bureaucratic theory perspective, this paper adds to the conversation of power imbalance, competition and interpersonal relationships management within organisational structures and their relationship to workplace harassment by examining current policies and practices within the federal public service, Canada’s largest single employer. The examination concludes that power imbalances can create opportunity for harassment, competitive work environments can encourage and reward behaviours that some could consider harassing, and dehumanisation of employees by managers resulting from hierarchical structures could result in harassment in the workplace. A case study is used to illustrate these relationships and provide in-depth understanding of these complex issues in a real-life context. In addition, recommendations for managers on how to adapt business practices to decrease opportunities for workplace bullying are prescribed.

等级制和霸凌:组织内部工作场所骚扰的驱动因素研究

摘要骚扰以多种形式出现,包括在工作场所欺凌,尽管迄今为止人们为解决这一严重问题做出了努力,但报告的事件发生率仍在上升。从官僚主义理论的角度考虑组织等级结构,本文通过研究加拿大最大的联邦公共服务部门当前的政策和做法,增加了组织结构内的权力失衡,竞争和人际关系管理及其与工作场所骚扰的关系的讨论。雇主。审查得出的结论是,权力失衡会为骚扰创造机会,竞争性工作环境会鼓励并奖励某些人可能认为骚扰的行为,以及由于等级结构导致经理对员工的非人性化可能导致工作场所的骚扰。通过案例研究来说明这些关系,并在现实环境中提供对这些复杂问题的深入理解。此外,针对管理人员的建议,建议如何采用商业惯例以减少工作场所欺凌的机会。
