Intimidating Bosses Negatively Affect Employee
Performance
The most common issue at the workplace
being employees bullied by their
supervisors and bosses leading to work
stress and mental pressure and
subsequently employees become less
committed to their goals, according to a
study. It has been studied and tried to
understand that how and why bullying
bosses impact organizational behavior and
employee performance.
Such employees bullied by their managers
tend to behave negatively like coming to
work late, taking longer breaks that are not
allowed, doing their jobs incorrectly or not
willing to work which affects the entire
team and the productivity. These days
negative work attributes into either work
stress or perception of injustice. In the
context of injustice, employees feel the
treatment given to them is unfair compared
to the effort they put in their jobs. As a
result, they purposely hold back
themselves from the unpaid extras that
help the company like attending meetings
or helping the teammates who face
problem which are not mandatory.
In the workplace, to have an abusive
manager can lead to work stress leading to
reduction of the employee’s ability to
control their negative behaviors or
providing to the firm in a positive way.
The response of the employees were
‘’Sleep is not under control. I do not sleep
well which makes me feel sleepy and
come late at office and take longer
breaks’’. According to a study, justice is
rational than the work stress. When an
employee gets an unfair treatment, he

willingly does not want to volunteer to
help others or to work on holidays even if
the boss asks him.
According to the latest survey, in
Australia, their bosses have bullied one of
every three employees. Intimidate bosses
are widespread in the workplaces in
Australia. For being harsh and cold, bosses
can be seen to be bullying. However, not
every boss is bully. Employers are mostly
working on creating a positive and
supporting environment for the employees.
It is easy for the employees to say they are
victimized and hard to have conversations
on their performance.
In Australia, women in comparison to men
have been bullied more as they still face
gender bias. The industries, which are
more prone to bullying bosses, are
education, health and professional and
business professionals. Humor helps to
reduce the aggression and depression of
the bullied employees by supporting the
sense of power.
I believe that the Human Resource
Management is critical to rebuilding
business ethics and ensure employees have
proper resources to complete their job.
HRM professionals must execute fair
policies to diminish employees’
perspective of injustice in the industry.
Bosses can adopt management skills by
interacting freely with their employees,
which can restore honesty and strengthen
their relationship.
