    Bullying in the workplace most closely resembles interactional injustice, where employees feel a lack of dignity, concern, and respect. Workplace bullying can reduce employees' self-esteem, security, and self-actualization according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It can also lower self-efficacy and decrease needs for achievement, power, and affiliation based on McClelland's theory of needs. If bullied, employees should first address the issue with the bully, then management, and if necessary seek help from employee advocacy groups. Retaliation should be avoided. Insecurity, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem can contribute to workplace bullying, as bullies may find an outlet to address their own issues

    Bully"s Bosses

    1. Out of the three types of organizational


    justice, bullying most closely resembles
    interactional justice in which the individual’s
    perception of the degree to which he or she
    is treated with dignity, concern and respect.
    What one person may see as unfair another
    may see as perfectly appropriate.
    2. Workplace bullying may reduce an
    employee’s esteem, safety and security, and
    self actualization according to Maslow’s
    Hierarchy of Needs. Workplace bullying can
    also affect one’s self efficacy. An employee
    with low self efficacy, when bullied, can
    experience a decline in their already low self
    efficacy which may decrease his/her need for
    achievement, need for power, and need for
    affiliation based on McClelland’s theory of
    needs. There are not too many people, which
    if they are being bullied would want to
    achieve a new position, attain power, or even
    want to belong to such a company where
    other employee’s are bullies.
    3. If I were a victim of workplace bullying, I
    would first approach my bully and inform
    him/her of the inappropriate behaviour. If
    the behaviour continued and the bully was
    not management, then I would go to
    management and let them know there is a
    problem. If the bully was a part of
    management, I would seek help from the
    special groups in most companies that are
    dedicated to unfair behavior within the
    company. If the company had no such group, I
    would do the opposite of what the bully
    expects my reaction to be. I think going to
    the special group would be effective, but if
    there is no such group then going to
    management would be the next best thing.
    Retaliation and confrontation would not be
    effective strategies. There would be nothing
    worse than having workplace bullying turn
    into workplace violence. I would help a
    colleague who is or was victims of an abusive
    supervisor seek the necessary help in the
    most effective manner.
    4. Insecurity, lack of confidence, and low self
    esteem are a few factors that could
    contribute to workplace bullying.
    Authoritarian personalities are driven by the
    fear of being weak and summarized them as
    people with a blind belief in authority and
    readiness to attack those who are regarded as
    weak or as socially acceptable as victims. An
    employee who may be insecure or threatened
    about loss of his/her position may resort to
    bullying. Within a negative social climate,
    low satisfaction with leadership was found to
    be an organizational feature strongly
    identified with bullying. An employee with
    low confidence and low self esteem may find
    an outlet to deal with these issues by bullying
    others. Bullies are both products of situation
    and flawed personalities. Numerous studies
    have demonstrated that bullying is associated
    with a negative and stressful working
    environment.
