How to manage your boss

How to manage your boss.
One style of dealing with ill-natured bosses may be to turn their hostility back on them, a new study suggests. Hundreds of US workers were asked if their supervisors were warring - doing things such as yelling, ridiculing and intimidating staff - and how the employees responded to such treatment. Workers who had opposed bosses but didn't retaliate had higher levels of crazy stress, were less satisfied with their jobs, and less committed to their employer than those who returned their supervisor's hostility, the examination found box4rx com. But the researchers also found that workers who turned the hostility back on their bosses were less likely to consider themselves victims.

The workers in the ponder returned hostility by ignoring the boss, acting like they didn't discern what the boss was talking about, or by doing a half-hearted job, according to the study that was published online recently in the scrapbook Personnel Psychology stories. "Before we did this study, I thought there would be no upside to employees who retaliated against their bosses, but that's not what we found," suggestion author Bennett Tepper, a professor of management and human resources at Ohio State University, said in a university story release.
