Abstract

This study entails the importance of social support at work to avoid feelings of ostracism and its negative consequences. This study is based on the literature survey approach. While going through from the literature an attempt has been made to find out the ways to overcome ostracism and its negative consequences. While finding the directions to overcome the issue, both individual and organizational factors were directed by previous researchers. No one in previous studies has discussed the role of social exchange relations in overcoming ostracism. This study, theoretically, proves that how ostracism can be reduced with the help of social support at work.
