Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay reflects on the need for more research to address observers’ perspectives and reactions when witnessing or hearing about workplace mistreatment. After describing workplace mistreatment with respect to a behavioral spectrum ranging from incivility to violence, this essay focuses on observers’ causal attributions and blame for workplace mistreatment. We relate observers’ conjunctive causal attributions to multifocus blame that positions the organization as decidedly more blameworthy than typical research in a traditional causal attribution paradigm would suggest. We also offer some suggestions for future research that is more responsive to observers’ blame for workplace mistreatment.

论观察者对工作场所虐待行为的连带归因及责任

摘要本文反思了需要更多的研究来解决观察者在目睹或听到工作场所虐待时的观点和反应。在从不文明到暴力的行为光谱描述了工作场所虐待之后，本文重点关注观察者对工作场所虐待的因果归因和指责。我们将观察者的联合因果归因与多焦点指责联系起来，这种指责将组织定位为比传统因果归因范式中的典型研究更值得指责。我们还为未来的研究提供了一些建议，以更好地回应观察者对工作场所虐待的指责。
