What aspects of motivation might workplace bullying reduce and are there likely to be effects for an employee's self efficiency and if so what might those effects be?

Answer:
  • One or more employees who are bullied or threats of being fired has no place in a company. Supervisors should be on top of bullying and give one warning to the bully and if the bully does not shape up then the Supervisor needs to go to Management regarding the bully and fire them out the door. By not handling bullies in the workplace this can cause a division of employees meaning that some employees will side with the bully for fear of being picked on or losing their job while other employees will simply take more time off work from the every day stress of bullying and their work suffers. A smart company would never allow such bullying because the employee or employees being bullied would not produce good work; take too much sick leave off or perhaps find other work and the company will not get their monies worth and will suffer a large turn-over of employees which is bad PR.
