Faculty Experiences with Bullying in Higher Education Causes, Consequences, and Management Loraleigh Keashly Wayne State University joel H. Neuman State University of New York at New Paltz ABSTRACT. Although much research has been done on workplace aggression and bullying over the past two decades, academics have paid relatively little attention to bullying in their own institutions. In this article, we discuss what is currently known about bullying in academia, with a particular focus on faculty behavior, and apply empirical and conceptual findings from research on aggression and bullying in other work settings and the significant literature on conflict management in higher education. We begin by describing the nature and prevalence of aggression and bullying in higher education. Drawing on well-established findings from interper- sonal aggression research, we discuss several important social, situational, and contextual antecedents to aggression (includ- ing academic culture, climate, values, and work practices) and demonstrate how these may serve as causes and consequences of bullying.
