Chapter Chapter 2 in Understanding Workplace Bullying, 2020, pp 11-24 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses four types of critical management studies (CMS) paradigms, such as critical realism, critical theory, labor process theory, and post-structuralism, their philosophical ideologies and ontological and epistemological understandings, and how they are effective in deconstructing workplace bullying as a managerial control mechanism which can be used to exert control over the employees. And how all four CMS paradigms will be used to develop critiques of workplace bullying, to expose the “reality” behind the continual existence of workplace bullying within organizations, and also how being critical projects, they will be able to suggest emancipatory guidelines to design more equitable and democratic workplaces.
