Invisible at Work: An Integrated Model of Workplace Ostracism
This article offers a review, integration, and extension of the literature relevant to ostracism in
organizations. We first seek to add conceptual clarity to ostracism, by reviewing existing definitions
and developing a cohesive one, identifying the key features of workplace ostracism, and
distinguishing it from existing organizational constructs. Next, we develop a broad model of
ostracism in organizations. This model serves to integrate the relevant findings related to ostracism
in organizations and to extend our theorizing about it. We take a decidedly organizational
focus, proposing organizationally relevant factors that may cause different types of ostracism,
moderate the experience of ostracism at work, and moderate the reactions of targets. We hope
this article will provide a good foundation for organizational scholars interested in studying
ostracism by providing a framework of prior literature and directions for future study.
