Cyber bullying is a serious workplace issue that many managers are not taking seriously, according to new research reported in Marketing magazine.
The LinkMe.com.au study of 1,782 workers indicates nearly half of cyber bullying victims feel they are not listened to when they seek support and assistance at work.
LinkMe claims around 50 per cent of cyber bullying is carried out by co-workers while 41 per cent of online harassment comes from the boss.
Survey respondents said cyber bullying is a growing problem because it is easier to intimidate colleagues in cyber space than it is in the real world.
