Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach: This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings: Harm caused to individual victims of workplace bullying (WPB) often has detrimental effects on team performance (TP), particularly when it results in a breach of the implicit psychological contract that exists within a team. Companies can help alleviate the impact of bullying through provision of counseling and support, along with initiatives to educate workers about WPB and the need to behave appropriately towards others. Originality/value: The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
