Workplace Intimation and Employee Self-Estrangement

Abstract

The chapter examined the relationship between workplace intimation and employee self-estrangement. The study was premised on the assumptions of two baseline theories: Karl marx’s theory of alienation and Symbolic Interractionism Theory (Blumer 1964). The chapter reviewed workplace intimidation as a strong predictor of employee self estrangement.. Hence, the chapter concluded that there should be policy development to enforce comprehensive sexual harassment policies that outline what constitutes harassment, reporting procedures, and consequences for violators; Ministries should create and implement a zero-tolerance approach to rudeness, bullying, or harassment; Ministries should create opportunities for interdepartmental collaboration to build trust and reduce isolation.
