Workplace bullying by supervisors has significant negative effects on employees' mental health, job satisfaction, and organizational productivity. This paper explores the types of bullying behaviors exhibited by supervisors, such as verbal abuse, micro-managing, and exclusion, and highlights the power dynamics that enable such behavior. The paper also examines the personal coping strategies employees use to manage bullying, including direct confrontation, seeking peer support, and documenting incidents. In addition, it emphasizes the importance of organizational interventions, such as anti-bullying policies, HR and management training, mediation programs, and whistleblower protections. By addressing both employee strategies and organizational responsibilities, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of how workplace bullying by supervisors can be effectively managed and prevented.
