I have a paper presented in an international conference and subsequently published in a journal. It's available on ResearchGate. This paper relates to how managers address and deal with workplace harassment (plus bullying) in Nepalese cooperatives a couple of years back. One interesting finding was that they wanted the workplace harassment cases to keep a hush-hush matter on most of the occasions. Pls find my article here.Sthapit, Arhan (2010). Workplace Harassment and Emotional Intelligence: A Survey of Nepali Managers’ Experience and Antecedents. Annual International Conference on Emotional Intelligence for Peace Education, Kathmandu, Nepal; 12/2010. link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267034327_Workplace_Harassment_and_Emotional_Intelligence_A_Survey_of_Nepali_Managers_Experience_and_Antecedents?ev=prf_pub

Dr. Arhan Sthapit,

I had to change my topic for my dissertation so I can get through the process. I plan to study workplace bullying after I become Dr. Burnett. 

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and provide your study.

Respectfully,

Human resource departments (and their managers) are now expected to contribute to the accomplishment of organizational goals, not just busy themselves with personnel administration. Increasingly, they inspire attempts to articulate corporate values: after all, organizations must still have a behavioral bedrock lest chaos, confusion, parochialism, and yes, workplace bullying, rule. How statements of corporate values can—and do—play a rule in ethical behavior is worth studying. An article on the subject is at http://www.adb.org/publications/primer-corporate-values.

Mary Jane,

I had the same issue with Walden. I had to completely start my research over again. I was working on bullying in higher education. I am now working on pre-service teachers' self-efficacy in recognizing and responding to bullying situations. 

What is your new topic?

As a recently appointed Executive Officer, I had to issue a zero tolerance policy on bullying in the organisation.  I was guided by a policy developed by the Society for HRM (SHRM).  The stance that I have taken against bullying has already had a positive effect on the organisation.
