The gossip employee
The gossip employee:
Another difficult employee is the gossiping employee. He seems to know everything about everyone and want to share it. They can be the cause of arguments because a lot of the time the information they spread is false. One minute, they talk to you about other colleagues and then the next thing you know you’re the subject of the gossip. They cause a lot of effects in the work place. They disrupt the work place and the business of work, damage interpersonal relationships, and injure employee motivation and morale. Also Gossiping results in misunderstandings that quickly lead to conflict and losing trust between the employees.
How to deal with them? There are many ways to deal with the gossip employee. The organization should keep people informed about what is happening and why, because regular communications with employees minimizes the influence the gossiping employee has over others, because everyone is "in-the-know." Also do not participate in spreading gossip and rumours, and do not accept it from others. Sometimes being direct and confronting the Gossip is the best way to deal with problems, so tell the gossiping employee that you are aware of his behaviour. Describe how his behaviour results in others not trusting them. ) (Janice Corbin and Janet May, May 2005)
The countervailing forces model depicts the BGS relationship as a flow of interactions among the major elements of society. It suggests complex exchanges of influence among them, attributing dominance to none. This is a model of multiple or pluralistic forces. Their strength waxes and wanes depending on factors such as the subject at issue, the power of competing interests, the intensity of feeling and the influence of leaders. This model reflects the BGS relationship in industrialized nations with democratic traditions. It differs from the market capitalism model, because it opens business directly to influence by non-market
