“…Even seemingly innocuous behaviors, such as ignoring a subordinate or failing to respond to subordinate requests for help, when performed over a long period of time, may be experienced by the subordinate as an act of bullying. Workplace bullying, over an extended period of time, negatively affects the subordinate's relationship with the supervisor (Glasø, Nielsen, & Einarsen, 2009;MacIntosh, 2005), harms teamwork (Baillien, Neyens, DeWitte, & De Cuyper, 2009;Gardner & Johnson, 2001), reduces morale, reduced creativity, lower productivity (Baruch, 2005;Bilgel, Aytac, & Bayram, 2006;Hauge, Skogstad et al, 2010;Namie, 2003;Quine, 2003), and decreases commitment to the organization (Gardner & Johnson), all of which have significant consequences to organizational culture. Bisel et al (2011) in stating "females, younger workers, and those with the least work experience are most indirect in denying an unethical request," demonstrate an interesting caveat (p. 465).…”
