Abstract: The present study examines the prevalence of bullying, sources of bullying and bystanders' reactions to bullying amongst Indian managers. Data gathered from 205 managers using behavioural and self-labelling approaches of measuring workplace bullying suggest that like managers in the west, Indians experience high instances of bullying. In terms of direction of bullying, it was found that downward bullying predominates as most of the bullying acts were directed from superiors. The study also highlights bystanders' reactions to bullying indicating that majority had preferred silence when they witnessed bullying. The findings of the study highlight a number of key avenues for future research that will help to extend the current workplace bullying literature.
