This book aims to explain the complex nature of bullying behaviors from a different perspective; theory of organizational politics. Thus, after providing an extensive literature review on bullying and organizational politics, their association is examined based on the previous research. In the light of the findings of previous research and theoretical work of different scholars, it can be said that bullying behaviors can be considered as the means/political tactics which are used by the perpetrators for influencing major organizational decision domains, and in turn serving their self interests. Implications of this argument for an effective prevention and intervention strategies are discussed with the aim of guiding managers for overcoming this serious work problem.
