Abstract

Due to the continuous progress of internet technology, it has become an indispensable way for workers to use the internet to complete their work. Although the work environment has shifted from face-to-face communication to online interaction, the same problem inevitably arises, which is workplace violence. “Cyberbullying” is a very appropriate term to describe violent behavior in online work. To reduce the emergence of cyberbullying in the workplace, relevant staff need to take a series of precautions or solutions to address the consequences of cyberbullying.
