Brutes at Work: American workers are bullied 50 percent more often than
employees in Scandinavia, but most aren’t even aware it’s happening, according
to new research set to appear in the Journal of Management Studies. Only 9
percent of employees even realize that the boorish behavior to which they are
subjected constitutes bullying, suggesting it has become “ingrained in the
culture” of U.S. workplaces. It’s not clear why American work sites are compared
with those in Scandinavia, although the soon-to-be-released report’s author, Dr.
Pamela Lutgen-Sandvik, speculates in an earlier report that 35 percent to 50
percent of U.S. workers “experience one negative act at least weekly” during any
six- to 12-month period.
