Administrative Conflict and Functional Bullying: A Sociological Vision in Conceptual Differentiation and Coping Means

This research paper aims at highlighting the features and characteristics that distinguish administrative conflict from occupational bullying in the work environment. This can be achieved through explaining conceptual convergences and divergences; defining the strategy of administrative conflict management. It also aims at identifying methods and procedures of confronting workplace bullying behaviors, in addition to identifying the perspective of the Quran in addressing this phenomenon. In view of the paucity of foreign and Arab studies, in particular, that treat both concepts together, we intend, in this study, to present a series of recommendations and suggestions that benefit presidents and subordinates in work institutions alike; in order to provide a safe and healthy working environment for workers.
