Answer 1

• a weak manager who is afraid of his employees and so is not prepared to enforce fair dealings.

• workers that don't appreciate or understand people who may be weaker, different, or of the opposite sex.
• a workplace without a strong union that will support each one of its members.

Power: Someone uses their power over someone who is, or seems to be weaker.

Self-esteem: Bullies may need to bully to boost their own self-esteem, which they feel is inadequate.

Difference: A person or a group may become the target of bullying because they seem to be different.

Perceived threat: People may get bullied because they are seen as a threat.

Organizational Culture: The attitude in the workplace may have developed so that bullying is seen to be normal behavior.
