Abstract

This presentation contributes to clarifying one potential source of workplace bullying tenacity: bullies' bi-strategic control tactics. Simultaneously engaging in pro-social and aggressive actions to exert control bi-strategically, bullies may exact and sustain their damaging influence over others. This study illustrates how through this control, bullies contribute broadly to wokplace dysfunction.
