Abstract

Organizational context absolutely and silently shapes ethical decision-making. Researchers have suggested that a context of workplace bullying can be overcome through workplace administrators' "know-how." Findings of this study suggest that "know how" may be founded in noting, acknowledging, and addressing bullies' powerful story-telling skills as the mechanism grounding bullies' ersatz power.

Strengthening workplace health: The significance of administrative recognition of bullies' story-telling proficiency

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Organizational context absolutely and silently shapes ethical decision-making. Researchers have suggested that a context of workplace bullying can be overcome through workplace administrators' "know-how." Findings of this study suggest that "know how" may be founded in noting, acknowledging, and addressing bullies' powerful story-telling skills as the mechanism grounding bullies' ersatz power.
