Abstract

In modern times, within an organizational context, autocratic leadership is a reality in many organizations. This article critically analyzes the ostracism associated with autocratic leadership, highlighting practices such as workplace harassment, deliberate exclusion, and psychological intimidation. The objective is to understand how these practices impact the emplyee´s mental health. It is argued that ostracism is not a consequence of leadership but an instrument of control and power. Therefore, the article defends the need to implement practices such as open communication, equitable recognition, and harassment prevention mechanisms.
