Background
The case discusses the significance of human resource management in ensuring a competitive
advantage for organizations. It emphasizes that employees' efforts are crucial for sustainable
competitive advantage, quality assurance, and overall organizational performance,
particularly in service organizations. Interpersonal communication with customers plays a
significant role in delivering quality customer service and influencing customer satisfaction.
A healthy workplace is essential for fostering a positive environment where employees can
work together to achieve a shared vision. However, workplace bullying negatively impacts
the organizational environment, leading to anxiety, depression, absenteeism, and high
turnover among employees. This, in turn, affects organizational practices and hinders the
development of insights and information necessary for delivering expected services to clients.
Despite these challenges, there is a substantial opportunity for growth and innovation in the
service sector. Organizations need to tap into this potential and stay competitive by fostering
a positive work environment and addressing issues related to workplace bullying to ensure
employee satisfaction and organizational success.

Conclusion
The case study aimed to investigate patterns of workplace bullying in Bangladeshi
organizations. Workplace bullying involves negative and aggressive behaviors that cause
psychological, verbal, or physical harm to individuals, leading to lower self-esteem, negative
emotions, anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression. The study analyzed four different
organizations and found that the concrete definition of organizational bullying is yet to be
fully developed. Organizational suffering may interpret bullying behavior differently. It is
found that bullying behavior is not universal but depends on the organizational context and
practices. Addressing workplace bullying is essential for employee productivity, well-being,
and performance.
