Having goals and feeling challenged at work often involves competition for resources, whether that means gaining the attention of higher-level experts or the funds and resources necessary to test theories. Acquiring those needs in the name of creativity and innovation in a healthy work environment produces healthy personal challenges and competition. Demanding the same results in a toxic workplace environment often breeds insecurity and self-doubt. When access to expert help or resources is limited or denied without sound reasoning and convincing logic, those very same workplace challenges and competition may begin to feel dirty and not worth the personal loss of integrity and values. However, for some employees, this is the perfect environment to exhibit bullying-type behaviors to achieve results.
