Abstract

Workplace harassment is a cruel reality of the society that is prevalent in almost all the professions. Workplace harassment can also be referred to as professional maltreatment or bullying, and it occurs when an employee is harassed by another employee, particularly because of race, faith, gender, nationality, age, disability or sexual orientation. It embraces any unwelcomed behavior towards another person in the workplace, and is in contradiction of the law in all conditions. Nurses are prone to workplace harassment due to the nature of their task in hospitals and other healthcare settings.

Keywords
