STUDY INQUIRY: Illuminating Target Voices: Unmasking Workplace Bullying in Canadian Universities
This message is being sent on behalf of Dr. Hannah Scott and doctoral student Amy Webster in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at Ontario Tech University. We are interested in recruiting Canadian university faculty members to participate in a survey detailing their experiences of workplace bullying in academia.
The purpose of the study is to understand tenured or untenured faculty members' experiences of workplace bullying in Canadian universities. We specifically do not ask for respondent names or where they work to protect the privacy of respondents. Participation is voluntary, anonymous, and confidential. All data received will be cleaned to remove any identifiable information provided by individual respondents. The survey should take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on the amount of detail participants wish to include.
As a study participant, your insights will help us understand the different forms of workplace bullying experienced by university faculty in Canada while also estimating the prevalence. The findings may also offer valuable suggestions for reducing workplace bullying in the field of higher education.
This study has been reviewed by the Ontario Tech University Research Ethics Board [REB file #17686] on March 1st, 2024.
Please feel free to share this survey with other faculty.
If you have any questions, please contact Amy Webster or Dr. Hannah Scott.
