Abstract

Workplace bullying is a significant issue that adversely affects employee mental health and work performance. High-performance employees often face more bullying than their average counterparts. This study aims to examine coping mechanisms for workplace bullying among high-performance employees through literature review and comparative analysis. The study found that high-performance employees employ four main types of coping mechanisms: (1) adaptive coping, (2) confrontational coping, (3) avoidance coping, and (4) support-seeking coping. The effectiveness of these mechanisms depends on individual factors, organizational culture, and management support. Results indicate that developing appropriate coping mechanisms can reduce negative impacts and strengthen workplace resilience. This study provides recommendations for developing effective organizational policies to prevent and address workplace bullying.
