Chapter Chapter 8 in Understanding Workplace Bullying, 2020, pp 169-182 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers the ethical implications of workplace bullying, and whether it is worthwhile for management to pursue its positive aspects as a management control strategy. Ethical implications in terms of medical problems and psychological outcomes and its aftermaths in terms of quality of personal and family life are discussed in the context of workplace bullying and its negative consequences. Lack of healthy working environments and issues pertaining to emotional and physical safety of employees having to work in tension filled and harassing organizational cultures are scrutinized in detail. This chapter brings together theoretical and empirical evidence and strongly demands the need for fair, equitable, and stress-free workplaces where an employee can work with dignity with superiors, peers, and subordinates who are congenial and practice professionalism.
