The fourth issue of the Journal of the International Ombudsman Association focuses on bullying in organizations. In his forward, JIOA Editor in Chief David Miller notes that, “Ombudsmen have crucial advantages in enabling characterisation, definition and responses to reported bullying in organisations."
Although bullying has become a focus concern, the role of Ombuds has never been addressed as it is in this issue of JIOA. Articles in the current issue include:
- “Some Things You Need to Know but may have been Afraid to Ask: A Researcher Speaks to Ombudsmen about Workplace Bullying” -- Loraleigh Keashly
- “Cases Involving Allegations of Workplace Bullying: Threats to Ombuds Neutrality and Other Challenges” -- Tom Sebok and Mary Chavez Rudolph
- “Tackling Systemic Incivility Problems: The Ombudsman as Change Agent” -- Jan Morse
- “Dealing with Bullying Behaviours in the Workplace: What Works — A Practitioner’s View” -- Barbara McCulloch
- “Bullying: A View from the Corporate World” -- Mim Gaetano
- “Experience From Japan” -- Noriko Tada

- “Some Thoughts on Bullying in International Organizations” -- James Lee
- “Some Considerations for Ombuds Dealing with Allegations of Bullying” -- Marsha L. Wagner

The latest issue of JIOA also marks a transition to a biannual publication schedule. (JIOA, vol. 3, no. 2.)
