Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
Workplace bullying is considered to be hazardous for the well-being of the employees, and organizations. Despite its known vices, organizations often fail to curb it or even recognize it. Moreover, being seldom studied in the Indian organizations, a need to further explore the phenomenon is vital, in the relentlessly changing work environment and workforce. In light of the same, this paper aims to understand targets’ perception of bullying in Indian organizations. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data, collected through in-depth interviews with 17 participants. The findings suggest that person-led organizations' or centralized organizations, nurture bullying behavior. The study informs on the approaches of the leaders in centralized organizations that empower the bullies. Further is states the types of bullies and the types of targets recognized. Unavailability of a system in organizations makes it difficult for the targets to raise voices. This findings of this paper imply that the leaders of such organizations should revisit their working styles to ensure harmonious environment.
