    Tom:

    You may be interested in something that I've worked on which is an
    effect of fear.  It is "feedback avoiding behavior," and refers to the
    various tactics used by employees to avoid their supervisors following
    poor performance.  You can find the original ms. and instrument in
    Journal of Management:

    Are You Hiding from Your Boss? The Development of a Taxonomy and
    Instrument to Assess the Feedback Management Behaviors of Good and Bad
    Performers
    Sherry E. Moss, Enzo R. Valenzi, and William Taggart
    Journal of Management, 8 2003; vol. 29: pp. 487 - 510.

    Let me know if you are interested in reading other articles (currently
    under review) which incorporate this construct.

    Colleagues,

    I was wondering if any of you could steer me towards some of the
    essential references on the use and effects of fear in the workplace.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Tom Catlaw
