Description
Summary:This study used directed content analysis to extend Darley and Latané's bystander decision making theory to the analysis of clergy workplace harassment. Bystander decision making theory, which was developed from analysis of bystander subjective experience in emergency incidents, was applied here to the target's subjective experience in non-emergency incidents. Interviews with United Church of Canada ministry personnel (N = 10) were coded using bystander decision steps as pre-determined categories. Findings were analysed to construct a model of clergy workplace harassment and a bystander task list. Additional findings were discussed with reference to normative abandonment and theological reflection on the ecclesial and missiological consequences of bystander immunity from communal responsibility.
