This book identifies potential support for workplace victimization through an examination of employee’s needs and needs-based motivation theories. Based on contemporary research in victimology and long-standing needs-based theories, it outlines how workplace bullying victims’ needs can be identified and how victims of workplace harassment can be empowered through the development and attainment of their unmet needs.
The volume will be of interest to practitioners at the intersection of organizational and forensic psychology practitioners examining lacking needs as motivators for workplace bullying or harassment.
