As a result the employee's self-esteem, self-confidence and work-competence could be injured. Moreover, the imbalance of power between perpetrator and victim needs to be considered. Workplace bullying needs to be taken as a serious issue since its effects are not only limited to the performance of the people involved but also to the whole organization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four theoretical paradigms, as mentioned by Samnani, are: Functionalism, Interpretivism, Critical Management Theory, and Postmodernism.
