Abstract

Discusses abusive management – extreme behaviours that can result in a subordinate or work group being plagued by uncertainty, anxiety, and fear. Examines the prevalence of the problem and its implications for management development, in terms of both the development of abused employees and the control of the abuser. Describes abusive behaviours, considers some likely antecedents of workplace abuse, examines subordinates′ reactions to abuse, and suggests ways organizations can diffuse or prevent these behaviours through management development.
