You are invited to participate in this research study. The title of this study is Healthy Workplace Bill: An Interpretive Policy Analysis. The goal of this research project is to come closer to a universal definition of workplace bullying by identifying the characteristics, attitudes and behaviors that define it. This research project is being conducted by Cynthia Contreras, a doctoral candidate in the Conflict Analysis and Resolution program at Nova Southeastern University. It should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.
