To effectively address workplace bullying, it's crucial to understand the psychology behind the behaviour. Read on for some reasons why people engage in bullying and harassment behaviours.
Insecurity and Control: Bullies often feel insecure themselves and use bullying as a means to gain a sense of control and superiority.
Power Imbalance: Bullies exploit real or perceived power imbalances, such as differences in seniority or influence.
Lack of Empathy: Many workplace bullies lack empathy and fail to consider the feelings or well-being of their targets.
