Abstract
Numerous universities around the world have policies and procedures in place to
deal with workplace bullying. However, the effectiveness of these HR interventions often
depends on the perceptions of the university employees (Chang, 2005). This thesis
attempts to disaggregate the different factors that lead to the creation of employee
perceptions in the faculty sub-set, with regards to their organization’s workplace bullying
policies and interventions. This study is conducted using exploratory qualitative
interviews of faculty at a mid-sized Canadian university and is analyzed using thematic
coding analysis.
