Workplace Bullying: The Perceptions of Canadian University Students

Lisa M. S. Barrow

The purpose of this study was to determine whether future organizational leaders considered behaviors associated with workplace bullying to be ethical. The research question is; is there a difference between female and male Canadian university students‟ perceptions of the morality of workplace bullying behaviors? During a 6-month period, 300 undergraduate university students completed an online survey. The findings suggest that certain bullying behaviors are morally unacceptable and others as not.
