Workplace bullying is a topic that impacts many people in many different disciplines. Research has shown that workplace bullying affects upwards of half of all workers during their work histories, and once it becomes an entrenched pattern, targets, witnesses, and human resource managers, alike, face difficulties in effectively addressing or abating the issue. This quantitative study used a non-experimental design to explore whether there was any relationship between the following variables: minority status, acculturation, workplace satisfaction, perceived bullying, and perceived acculturation. Learned helplessness theory and minority stress theory were the theoretical foundations utilized to investigate workplace bullying and the role of culture.
