Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper focuses on the creativity and empowerment impacts caused by workplace ostracism, as well as the practice of defensive silence by those on the receiving end of it. The results revealed that exposing employees to workplace ostracism causes their creativity to decline, and causes them to adopt defensive silence as self-protection. In turn, defensive silence impacts the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee creativity when employee empowerment levels are low. Organizational leaders are therefore advised to lead by example, to ensure that employee empowerment training is provided, and to embed clear positive behavior messaging throughout their onboarding process.
