More Bad-Boss Mojo
July 16, 2008
A survey of 700 employees by Florida State University College of Business, to be published in the scholarly journal Leadership Quarterly, reinforces the above news with these findings:
- 39% of respondents said their supervisor failed to keep promises;
- 37% said their supervisor failed to give credit when due;
- 31% said their supervisor gave them the "silent treatment" in the past year;
- 27% said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers;
- 24% said their supervisor invaded their privacy; and,
- 23% said their supervisor blames others to cover up mistakes or minimize embarrassment.
Given the apparently pervasive rumblings among employees, PR execs should consider possible causes (e.g., a rise in technology stemming personal interactions, a diminishing distinction between work time and home life) and work to develop some solutions within their own employee relations efforts. (For more on this topic, look for next week's feature on emulating the employee-relations practices of Fortune's Best Companies to Work For.)
