Predicting workplace victim status from personality

Iain Coyne; Elizabeth Seigne; Peter Randall

This study examined the extent that workplace victim status can be predicted from personality traits. The sample comprised 60 victims and a control group of 60 non-bullied work colleagues, matched on a number of organizational and personal criteria, from two large organizations (one public, one private) in Eire. Both groups completed a semi-structured interview and the ICES Personality Inventory (Bartram, 1994, 1998). Significant differences emerged between victims and nonvictims on all major ICES scales. Victims tended to be less independent and extroverted, less stable, and more conscientious than non-victims. From the development of a weighted composite personality profile, results illustrated that ICES personality traits strongly predicted victim status. The findings suggest that, using a five-factor framework, personality traits may give an indication of those in an organization most likely to be bullied and an indication as to why these individuals become victims.

Self and peer nominations of bullying: An analysis of incident rates, individual differences, and perceptions of the working environment

Iain Coyne; Penelope Smith-Lee Chong; Elizabeth Seigne; Peter Randall

Within workplace bullying research, the use of different criteria to identify victim samples, and a tendency to rely on self-reported victimization without including reports from other stakeholders have been considered major methodological problems associated with incidence studies (Cowie, Naylor, Rivers, Smith, & Pereira, 2002; Hoel, Rayner, & Cooper, 1999; Randall, 2001). Using diverse criteria to identify victim and perpetrator samples (such as self report, peer report, and self- and peer report), this study found rates of victimization and bullying varied quite considerably. Rates for victims ranged from 3.9% to 39.6% and for perpetrators from 2.7% to 19.3%. Differences in personality and perceptions of the organizational environment were then examined between victim/bully groups and a control sample. Results indicated that all victim samples differed significantly from controls on stability. However, self- and peer-reported victims differed significantly from controls on both the poised and relaxed subscales, whereas self-reported victims only differed significantly on the relaxed subscale. Additionally, self- and peer-reported victims were the only group that significantly differed from controls in their views of the negative aspects of the work environment. The notion that victim and perpetrator samples are not homogenous groups and considerations of why this is the case are discussed.

PERSONALITY TRAITS OF BULLIES AS A CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR IN WORKPLACE BULLYING: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Elizabeth Seigne; Iain Coyne; Peter Randall; Jonathan Parker

This paper examines the relationship between personality characteristics - as indexed by the ICES Personality Inventory (Bartram, 1994; 1998) and the IBS Clinical Inventory (Mauger, Adkinson, Zoss, Firestone & Hook, 1980) - and bullying behavior. Although it proved to be difficult to obtain a large enough sample of bullies, the findings indicated that bullies are aggressive, hostile, and extraverted and independent. Furthermore, bullies are egocentric, selfish, and show little concern for the opinions of others. High levels of aggressiveness, assertiveness, competitiveness and independence are traits that are also associated with leadership.

Post-traumatic stress disorder in children: The social work challenge

Jonathan Parker; Peter Randall

Abstract Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects both children and adults. It can result from the traumatic experience of childhood sexual abuse. Knowledge of the syndrome and its effects is, however, often limited. Thus important opportunities for intervention are missed. This article describes the implications for policy, social work practice and training.

Autism: Working with families

Peter Randall; Jonathan Parker

Abstract Within the context of social work practice this paper examines the extreme difficulties parents can experience with their children with autism. It presents case examples of the common and devastating ways in which parents become aware that their child has a developmental disorder and describes the difficulties many experience in accessing professional diagnoses and support. The paper also describes the common forms of challenging behaviour presented by children with autism about which parents may turn to social workers and concludes with a discussion of the value to social work development this particular client population provides.

Factitious disorders by proxy: A trap for the unwary

Peter Randall; Jonathan Parker

Abstract This paper reviews the literature on Factitious Disorders by Proxy; one of the most insidious forms of child abuse known to practitioners. It provides a description of the disorder and its place relative to other similar disorders. The epidemiology and course of the disorder are examined and the symptoms by which it may be recognised are identified. A case study illustrates the main features of this disorder and demonstrates how easy it is for practitioners to be misled by the abuser. Finally, the paper examines the prospect for successful intervention and details the criteria that are associated with success.
