How interesting. As I was searching articles for our assignment in Leadership, I came across a study on this very topic. The researchers conducted an international survey on bullying in the workplace and that aforementioned phrase was used.
The article was; Johnston, M. Phanhtharath, P. & Jackson, B. (2009) The Bullying Aspect of
Workplace Violence in Nursing, Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 32:4. 287 – 295

Well, yes — but in spite of women’s foibles, this seems to be more of a systemic problem. The inefficiencies of the bureaucratic structure create a pressure cooker environment wherein the worst characteristics of people tend to manifest.

Certainly, women do have their own methods of bullying, but men do it too, in similar contexts.

This article explains the phenomenon under the heading “Why Organisational Institutional Bullying occurs even though individuals within these places are mostly innocent.”

Oh my goodness! sounds like its really bad, or at least over there in america. I don’t know if the problem is abundant here in Finland, but I do know that nursing students, and nurses who come from non-finnish backgrounds to suffer alienation and mistreatment by their finnish colleagues, and the problem is currently being adressed by the unions, as far as I know.

I guess, the environment is a tricky one because of the honogenous concentration of female staff. Too much estrogen can cook a nasty brew. Girls are known to be masters in the ability of inflicting psychological oppression, and in a group of females, you need only one alpha female to create a pack of lionesses faithful to their leader. I have seen this on some wards were women follow and worship every opinion held by one member of the staff who happens to have a very strong personality. However, other wards are very pleasant and open. Women can be viscious, especially toward each other. Oh the vanity!

And that phrase garners hundreds of hits on Google. Obviously, it’s a very prevalent problem — and it is unfortunate that there is such an unwillingness to acknowledge and deal with it head-on.

I once read an article about bullying in nursing culture that was called “Why Do Nurses Eat Their Own Young?”.

It was talking about the tendency to compete destructively rather than mentor productively.

It is true. speaking from experience here. The ‘g’-word amongst the nurses is like Macbeth in the theatres. They know they do but admitting to it is a sacriledge.
