Abstract
In this review paper I argue that the workplace culture cemented in place by the presence of a leader espousing neoliberal leadership beliefs creates a space where subordinates receive free reign to also bully: called vicarious bullying. We see “unethical, opportunistic, or colluding subordinates” behaving in ways that “maintain the pernicious center of power” (Hollis, 2019, p. 2). In order to do so I will use the literature to identify the elements of a toxic, bullying managerial style and demonstrate how these characteristics link to vicarious bullying. The aim is to examine the ideas that lead me to propose the relationships between toxic leadership and vicarious bullying.
