Role of Popularity in Being Bullied at the Work Place Research efficiency and skill proficiency, on the other hand, women are judged by their attitudes towards their colleagues and their body language and dress code. Their personal traits and moral conduct determines their vulnerability of being a victim of bullying. The constant harassment in the form of bullying can be very devastating for health.According to Yamada, Workplace bullying is an often unseen, dangerous practice encountered by countless workers today. Such harassment has taken a charge, not just on the physical and mental well-being of the individual directly affected, but on his or her family and social relations, job output, and overall workforce morale. As with more slight forms of sexual harassment, incidences of bullying are often unreported if investigated, brought to a quick and usually unsuccessful conclusion. “Problems at work are more strongly associated with health complaints than are any other life stressor – more so than even financial problems or family problems.” (As cited by Yamada, 2008). According to Ronald Lindah (2006) it is indispensable to distinguish that large-scale organizational enhancement does not occur in a vacuum or sterile environment. It occurs in human systems, organizations, which already have beliefs, assumptions, expectations, norms, and values, both idiosyncratic to individual members of those organizations and communal. Conclusion Bulling in an organization can reduce staff turnover and increase de-motivation and absences among employees, hence affecting morale and productivity negatively. Since bullying affects likeable and popular people more it could cause a breakdown of trust, hence refraining an efficient and effective employee from contributing his/her best work, not giving extra ideas for improvement, not providing feedback on failures and may be less honest about performance. Women being among the more vulnerable group will be affected more. PAKISTAN BUSINESS REVIEW JULY 2011 376
