Pathological Work Victimisation in Public Sector Organisations

No / Workers in public sector organisations might expect any threat to their
physical and psychological safety and wellbeing to fall far short of any unreasonable
risk. However, the evidence is by no means certain. One of the most persistent and
prevalent organisational perils is work victimisation. A propensity towards this type of
abuse in government organisations is most disturbing, since they remain a major
employer, and hence, have a direct bearing on the occupational fates of a large and
growing number of personnel. This paper provides a brief discussion of work
victimisation and focuses attention one of its most unrepentant and enigmatic perpetrators,
the corporate psychopath. The paper highlights some individual and institutional
measures designed to enable employees to mitigate the risk of abuse by these
victimisers.
