Abstract

Objective: The research aims to mitigate bullying behaviors through targeted behavioral techniques and improve the psychological well-being of students. Method: Employing a qualitative design, the study utilizes non-participant observations, interviews, and document analysis to systematically collect, organize, and analyze data on bullying manifestations. Results: Findings reveal that bullying is predominantly expressed through physical aggression such as assault, punishment, and hitting, which adversely affect students’ mental health. However, school interventions—including anti-bullying strategies, risk mitigation efforts, and the integration of self-development curricula within Akidah and Akhlak lessons—have resulted in notable positive behavioral changes among students. Novelty: This research introduces a novel application of behavioral methods within a religious educational context, offering valuable insights into effective strategies for reducing bullying while reinforcing moral and ethical teachings in academic settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the paradox of power in workplace sexual harassment, focusing on how authority and power dynamics contribute to harassment incidents and perpetuate toxic organizational environments. Method: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with employees across various industries to explore the relationship between authority, power imbalances, and harassment occurrences. Results: The findings reveal that power imbalances significantly facilitate harassment by enabling individuals in positions of authority to exploit their power without accountability. Organizational culture, inadequate reporting mechanisms, and fear of retaliation are identified as critical factors that sustain this paradox. Novelty: This study uniquely highlights the contradiction between the intended role of authority—to ensure structure and productivity—and its misuse as a tool for harassment. By emphasizing the need for ethical leadership and accountability, the research provides new insights into dismantling power dynamics that perpetuate workplace harassment. Recommendations include comprehensive organizational reforms, transparent reporting systems, and leadership training to promote ethical authority use, fostering safer and more equitable work environments.
