Understanding Bullying at Work from the Chinese Drinking Culture Perspective
Abstract
This paper presents some cases about workplace bullying happened in china recently from the perspective of Chinese drinking culture. In China, drinking is an essential part of cultivating “Guanxi” (relationship). Rarely scholarly paper addresses the bullying at work in from the drinking culture perspective. The lack of understanding the Chinese drinking culture about bullying is a gap in both the scholarly research and the effective prevention of bullying at work. This paper tries to find out 1) why bullying occurs at the Chinese drinking table,2) The drink culture cultivates bullying at the drinking table in china,3) what is the relationship between bullying and drinking table culture. Consequently, bullying prevention training will benefit from greater administrators’ involvement with (and reinforcement of) bullying prevention strategies at work. Implications for policy and research are also discussed.
