MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —
A professor who could never be said to have “bullied” her way into a job
will be the guest on the next “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Michele Medina will air
from 9:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, July 4, and from 6 to 6:30 a.m. Sunday, July 9,
on WMOT-FM Roots Radio 89.5 and www.wmot.org.
Medina, who will begin work this fall as an assistant
professor in the Department of Management, chose workplace bullying as the
topic of her doctoral dissertation.
Instead of focusing on either the perpetrators or the
targets of workplace bullying, Medina concentrated on the workers who stand by
and say and do nothing while their colleague is being tormented.
“I had prerecorded a set of videos that depicted either a
neutral co-worker interaction, a bystander or a bullying incident between co-workers,”
said Medina. “The participants would come in. They would watch the videos, and
then they would answer a set of questions based on the videos.”
Medina comes to MTSU from the University of North Texas in
Denton, Texas, where she was an adjunct professor in the Department of
Management.
