Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between workplace bullying and EVLN outcomes with psychological contract violation as a mediator and workplace friendship as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from 835 full-time Indian managerial employees working in different Indian organizations. Findings - Results revealed that workplace bullying positively related to exit and neglect and negatively related to voice and loyalty. PCV mediated bullying–EVLN outcomes relationship and effects of workplace bullying on proposed outcomes were weaker in the presence of high workplace friendship. Research limitations/implications - A cross-sectional design and use of self-reported questionnaire data are few limitations of this study. Originality/value - This study adds to the limited literature examining EVLN typology in response to workplace bullying. This study is one of the rare attempts to examine bullying–outcomes relationships in the Indian context.
