This paper explored the emergence categories and form of workplace harassment in the Malaysian context. The exposure to workplace harassment is all-embracing in various setting. The results are discussed with reference to other studies. The research also demonstrates that harassment is a serious problem in Malaysian workplace and needs to be addressed on policy.
