Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe, analyze and interpret self-perceptions regarding leadership, conflict handling and participation by ten allegedly bullies managers. A qualitative phenomenological investigation was made; information was gleaned from in-depth interviews and was analyzed with Atlas.ti. The managers’ performance was characterized by the de-professionalization of their duties and the exercise of leadership by self-favoring trends, forcing obedience and putting results ahead of their employees’ wellbeing. Intuition and imposition dominated in their handling of conflicts. We conclude that the lack of managerial skills may result in creating bullying situations and behavior by managers toward their subordinates.
