This paper aims to examine the organisational responses to employees’ allegations of workplace bullying. The paper is based on a substudy of my doctoral thesis. The results of the study are based on qualitative data comprising interviews, tape-recorded courtroom narratives and documents related to workplace bullying cases. As a result of the present study, I have identified a specific dynamics of workplace victimisation. In this paper, I will describe this dynamic which results in further victimisation and accumulation of the detrimental outcomes of the mistreatment.
