Abstract

Cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility refers to any harassment that occurs via the internet, cell phones or other devices. Communication technology is used to intentionally harm others through hostile behaviour such as sending text messages and posting ugly comments on the internet. The increased frequency of this cyber incivility among people, both young and old and the negative psychological and organizational impact it has on victim have made it interesting topic for researchers nationwide. The National Crime Prevention Council defines cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility as ―the process of using the Internet, cell phones or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person [1], [2]. Cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility is not limited to grade school, middle school, or high school—it also appears in postsecondary education. It‘s also not just an American problem, but occurs across the globe [3]. Cyber-bullying/cyberincivility must be recognized as a higher education issue. College and university administrators should work on policies that develop guidelines for dealing with this issue on campus and with more on-line education and faculty working from home, in the home.
