Description:
While research on workplace bullying has expanded globally, its theoretical foundations remain largely rooted in Western societies. Navigating the Labyrinth - A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Workplace Bullying from a Central Asian Perspective provides a vital corrective to this trend by offering a cross-cultural analysis of workplace mistreatment through the specific socio-historical lens of Central Asia, with a primary focus on Uzbekistan. This book deconstructs universalist assumptions and examines how unique cultural dimensions, such as high power distance and in-group collectivism, fundamentally alter perceptions, enactments, and reports of bullying. Essential for scholars, practitioners, and organizational leaders, this work bridges the gap between global theory and local practice, offering a nuanced guide to fostering psychological safety and protecting human dignity in a rapidly globalizing workforce.
