Biography

Jaime Lester is Associate Professor of Higher Education at George Mason University, USA.

'This book is written to help human resource professionals working in the HE sector understand what the current issues are surrounding workplace bullying. Although set in a USA context this does not limit the appeal or usefulness of the book; topics range from the current, limited, empirical research literature through to the different sub-cultures and biases that exist within financially restrained, historically bound,institutions. It also provides well-researched observations on the legal and ethical implications of bullying' Damian Stoupe, Counselling at Work, 2013
