Abstract

Existing workplace bullying literature suggests that ethno-racial minorities and women are more likely be bullied in relation to their ethnicity, race, or gender. However, very few studies apply an intersectional framework of analysis to consider for instance, how ethno-racial status and gender interacts to affect general workplace bullying experiences and their reporting decisions. This article uses an intersectional analytical framework and a cross sectional quantitative analysis of the British Workplace Behaviour Survey (2007-2008) to examine bullying in the workplace, as experienced by the intersections of ethno-racial status and gender. In discussing how some groups report -particular dimensions of bullying more than others, this article closely examines the somewhat unexpected finding that “white” men were significantly more likely to report instances of workplace bullying. This article argues for the use of an intersectional analytical approach to understand and progressively address the nuances of identity, power and workplace bullying experiences
