Workplace mistreatment is a growing cause for concern, with most workers having experienced it in some way. This book looks at the negative effects of workplace ostracism on individual and organisational outcomes, such as employee attitudes, behaviours and well-being. It investigates how to differentiate ostracism from other forms of mistreatment such as workplace incivility and interpersonal conflict. It also examines what individual, relational and environmental factors can influence employees' experiences of ostracism in the workplace. It further investigates the experience of ostracism in stigmatised populations, like international students, immigrant workers, and elderly workers. This book will be a useful resource to researchers in organisational behaviour, I/O psychology and the sociology of labour.
