Summary

This study focuses on the role of human resource management (HRM) in the way that targets of workplace bullying cope with that bullying. Conversational interviews suggested that the targets of workplace bullying tend to rely heavily on their personal and social resources as a way to cope with workplace bullying. Furthermore, many targets of bullying rely heavily on organizational options to assist them in minimizing the well-being and performance effects of bullying. When HRM is unsuccessful in helping to minimize these effects, participants are more likely to consider exiting the organization. Hence, HRM may play a critical role in addressing workplace bullying.
