Abstract
This work is on bullying in small town service organizations from the perspective of executive directors. The literature review touches on bullying research and discusses theoretical lenses and the Saliln (2003) lens that is used in this study. This is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. Data come from text of seven interviews of executive directors that manage organizations run by volunteer boards from Prince Rupert to Prince George, British Columbia. The significant questions were the utility of using Salin (2003) as a tool for focusing attention on important elements related to workplace bullying, the role of location, and whether theory operationalizes neatly into practice when it comes to workplace bullying. Five themes emerged: autonomy/loneliness, measures of success, communication, fear, not just a job, and a discussion of what did not fit into these themes. Discussion of the findings, limitations, recommendations and areas for future research are presented. --P. ii. |
