Corporate Psychopaths and Withdrawal from Work

Clive Boddy

Chapter 10 in Corporate Psychopaths, 2011, pp 120-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Because of the possible consequences of working in a workplace where a Corporate Psychopath was operating, such as being disheartened and abused and feeling used and exploited, as discussed earlier in this book, it was further hypothesised that in such environments more workplace withdrawal would occur than in other workplaces. Having Corporate Psychopaths in the workplace in the medium to long term would logically be destabilising, emotionally upsetting and generally unpleasant, and it can be expected that affected employees would seek to minimise their exposure to such an environment by staying at home through withdrawal behaviour such as absenteeism.
