To understand if violence or intimidation is a reason for leaving,organizations should conduct exit interviews with the assurance that the information will remain confidential if an employee fears retaliation.This is an important step in gauging if the problem is bullying or intimidation by managers.Johnson (2009)found that 50% of respondents indicated that they were bullied by their manager or director.The researcher suggested that when management is part of the problem,victims have a harder time feeling they have adequate support to end the negative cycle of violence.Lack of support leads many victims of bullying to decide that the best alternative is to leave the organization and to give this advice to others who find themselves in similar situations (Johnson,2009).
