Lean and mean: how NPM facilitates the bullying of UK employees with long-term health conditions
Abstract
This empirical study explores perceptions of bullying amongst public sector workers with longterm health conditions (LTHC). Data was obtained from focus groups and interviews with union members and representatives with knowledge of LTHC. While incidents of overt discrimination occurred, most evidence was found for the social model of disability, with bullying of employees with LTHC largely attributed to intensive working practices typical of New Public Management. The implications for public sector anti-bullying and antidiscrimination policies are discussed.
