Survey on workplace bullying

Research into workplace behaviour: invitation to participate in survey

The Centre for Research on Workplace Behaviours (part of the Glamorgan Business School), in conjunction with PCS in Wales, is carrying out research into members’ treatment at work and how the union is addressing issues such as workplace bullying and harassment. PCS Wales logo

I am therefore inviting you - whatever your experience - to participate in a survey.

The survey is completely confidential and your answers are anonymous. The data is maintained on a secure server, to which only the researchers at the Glamorgan Business School have access.

The questionnaire usually takes no more than twenty minutes to complete and your participation will be invaluable. The information you provide will be used for two purposes:

1. To inform the union leadership, in non specific terms, about your needs. This will enable the development of the most effective strategies for preventing and intervening in workplace bullying and harassment.

2. It will provide data for doctoral research into the role of trade unions in addressing workplace bullying and harassment.

The survey asks about members’ experiences at work during the past two years. Please ignore this request to complete this survey if you have not been employed in the last two years or are no longer a union member.

If you have difficulty accessing the online questionnaire, or have any questions about completing it, please contact Hazel Mawdsley of the University of Glamorgan on 01443 482591 or at hmawdsle@glam.ac.uk.

If you are experiencing problems with bullying at work, please contact your local PCS representative.

Thank you in anticipation for your participation in this important research. It should enable us to review and improve how we address bullying in the workplace and give members the protection they need.
