Investing
in the failure of others may sound odd, but it is a characteristic of
bullying behavior. History is full of people who wanted others to
fail for personal gain. Practices such as these indicate that something
is wrong with the organization's emotional well-being. A sick
organization is created when the hierarchy of needs is not met, such as
when the workplace is unstable or unsafe, or social needs are ignored,
and when a lack of respect is the norm, and self-efficacy, fulfillment,
and autonomy are missing in the organization.
