THE PRICE OF ORGANIZATIONAL DYSFUNCTION
Someone ordered the wrong model?!?!?!?
Good day to all of the "PAPER PUSHERS" out there...I saw this and immediately thought of a boss that ordered its construction. You see...it's not the fact that it was just thrown together, but symbolically, it represents what happens when management causes dysfunction in the ranks. In a study done by the Workplace Bullying Institute, (2007),
" conducted quantitative analysis of over 350,000
employees throughout the United States, focusing the study on incidents of individual
bullying to mobbing. In partnership with
Zogby International, the results were conclusive
that “most (72%) perpetrators were bosses; most (55%) targeted individuals were non-supervisory
workers; although 35% of those bullied were managers. Additionally, perpetrators
enjoyed support primarily from higher-ranking managers (43% have executive sponsors), peer managers (33%) and human resources
(14%)."
WBI, (2007)
What is the end result to all of this bullying? Things like poor organizational performance, distrust, and even worse. We have to address behavior in society which extends into the workplace.
Okay this is "The Paper Pusher" signing out...
