Perceived Effectiveness of Bullying Behaviors as Organizational Political Tactics

Abstract

Based on the arguments that in some cases bullying could be examined as a form of organizational politics, this study aims to identify if different bullying dimensions are perceived as effective political tactics for influencing major organizational decisions and in turn serving the self interests of the perpetrators. Results showed that people perceive bullying behaviors as effective political tactics to influence major organizational decision domains. Also, different dimensions of bullying were perceived as more effective to influence some particular organizational decisions and gaining personal objectives. In order to influence organizational decisions such as promotion, allocation of task assignments, organization structure, and performance appraisal, affecting victims’ occupational situation was perceived as the most effective bullying behavior dimension. However, when people aimed to influence dismissal decisions, the most effective bullying dimension was perceived as affecting victim’s physical health.
