| dc.description.abstract | Workplace bullying causes physical and mental trauma to victims, and also has a negative impact on the organization. From news events in recent years, it can be found that workplace bullying occurs not only in private enterprise, but also in government agencies. However, our country′s current labor laws and public servant regulations do not provide clear definitions and regulations regarding workplace bullying. This article uses document analysis and comparative methods to understand the causes, definitions, behavioral patterns, and impacts of workplace bullying, then understand the ＂ Healthy Workplace Bill＂ and the new guideline on workplace harassment/bullying in Puerto Rico′s and Japan, and compare the definitions, prevention mechanisms, and measures that employers should take among these cases. Analyze cases of workplace bullying in our country′s government agencies in in recent years to increase understanding of the current situation of workplace bullying in the public sector.
Workplace bullying is not solely caused by individual factors. According to our current laws, victims of workplace bullying can only lodge complaints through internal company channels. Although the internal rules set by each public agency can prevent and deal with workplace bullying, if the bully and the bullied are not satisfied with the results of the treatment, they can only seek relief through appeals and re-appeals. Due to the common nature of workplace bullying behaviors, it is often difficult to claim personal rights violations and initiate lawsuits. Therefore, drawing on experiences from the United States and Japan, this paper proposes relevant suggestions, hoping that by establishing comprehensive workplace bullying regulations, the rights of all employees in the public sector can be protected, thus creating a friendly workplace environment. | en_US |
