Authors : Fettache Nora .

Abstract

This research paper focuses on bullying in the academic work environment, specifically among PhD students and research professors. The study aims to understand the theoretical aspects of workplace bullying and examine how Algerian legislation addresses this issue. Through a survey conducted on a sample of PhD students and research professors, the study aims to identify bullying behaviors and common manifestations of bullying in the academic environment. The survey was distributed among members of the University Professors Club Facebook page, with a total of 230 participants. The findings suggest that bullying often takes a collective form, targeting individuals or groups. The bullying group becomes a dominating force, using various means to serve their own interests while excluding others. The study sheds light on the negative phenomenon of bullying in academia, providing key insights into its dynamics.
