If the person became a victim of workplace bullying, they would first talk to their supervisor and if that didn't help, go to their supervisor again to explain the situation. Quitting their job would be useless. They should try to change things rather than wait. They should also take care of their motivation, esteem, and self-actualization needs. If a colleague was being bullied, they would advise them on how to stop it, encourage them to seek help, and show support without directly interfering.

What strategies would be most effective? Least effective? What would you do if one of your colleagues
were a victim?
If I would be a victim of workplace bullying I would first try to talk with my supervisor, if it doesn't
change anything I would go to my supervisor and explain the situation. I would definitely not quit my
job; it would be useless. It is important to try to change things and not just wait that something will
change. One step is to take care of yourself, your motivation, social, esteem, and self-actualization
needs. It is important to stop rumors and not let them to interfere.
If one of my co-workers would be a victim of bullying, I would try to help him/her to tell him advices
how to stop it, I would encourage him/her to seek help and do something about it, but I wouldn't be the
person who interferes and stops it. It is easy to just watch and do nothing, but it is important to show
the co-worker that you are on his/her side and encourage the employee to make a change and not quit
his/her job.
