Overview
Workplace bullying affects both the victims and the organizations. The study by Wa, Wang, and Chein (2017) aimed to provide safe, productive, and anti-bullying workplaces by developing intervention programs integrating bullying preventative measures considering nurses’ attitudes, perceptions, and actions.
