Workplace bullying hinders employees' creativity, involvement: Study
Workplace bullying and negative behaviour such as being excluded, humiliated or treated unfairly hinders creative thinking and reduces the likelihood of employees engaging in innovative side projects, a study by Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Lucknow has found. In many organisations, employees work on secret, self-initiated ideas developed without management's knowledge and present them to the management once they are ready to deliver significant results leading to business success, it said. According to officials, the researchers employed a mixed-method approach to gather the necessary data. In the experimental scenario-based part of the research, the team gathered input from 112 participants. In the survey-based part of the research, input from 313 employees working in IT-enabled companies was gathered. "Our study sheds light on how subtle forms of workplace mistreatment can silently erode employees' creative potential. Organisations must create an environment where support, respect, and open dialogue are the norm to unlock true innovation," Rishab Chauhan, PhD scholar, IIM Lucknow, told PTI. The study found that workplace bullying reduces the likelihood of employees engaging in innovative side projects while negative workplace behaviour drains employees' "relational energy" which they gain from feeling supported or recognised Open communication between managers and employees can help preserve and revive creative thinking, it noted. The study has bagged the "Best Paper in Proceedings Award" in the conflict management division at the prestigious 85th Academy of Management (AOM) Conference, held at Copenhagen, Denmark. "It is an honour to have our work recognised at a global platform like AOM. We hope these findings encourage companies to not only curb workplace bullying but also actively nurture the creative spark in their employees," Payal Mehra, Professor, Communications, IIM Lucknow. The study highlights the critical need for organisations to actively identify and address negative workplace behaviour. It also highlights the need for strong communication and anti- bullying policies to encourage employee-driven innovation. "Organisations should establish a proper punitive system for detrimental workplace bullying at workplace. Firms can include employee behaviour as a significant metric for their performance assessment to mitigate workplace abuse. They should also offer secure avenues for employees to lodge appeals and enact proactive measures against workplace bullying," the study said.

‘Rs 20 lakh stolen in 60 seconds': Thieves in South Delhi drive away parked car after hacking its security system, video goes viral
Thieves hacked the security system of a car parked outside a house in South Delhi's Safdarjung Enclave on June 21 and drove away with the vehicle in less than a minute. The car's owner, Rishab Chauhan, uploaded the CCTV footage of the alleged theft that took place at 4.50 am on his social media page with the title 'Rs 20 lakh stolen in 60 seconds', and it soon went viral with over three million views. The footage shows a car pulling up next to Chauhan's top-end variant Creta, worth over Rs 20 lakh, and a man stepping out to break the glass window at the driver's side before leaving. Moments later, the same vehicle returns, and a man with a face mask and holding a tablet-like gadget hacks the Creta's security system. Within seconds, he opens the door without a key, and drives off with the vehicle that was reportedly only six months old. 'Hi, my Hyundai Creta got stolen in 60 seconds on 21st June 2025. As can be seen in this video that I took from my CCTV camera, the CRETA is no longer safe outside. Its security system has been hacked or leaked and can be bypassed in 60 seconds,' wrote Chauhan on Instagram. A post shared by Rishabh Chauhan (@421sweetdevil) Chauhan also shared a screenshot of the police complaint registered and stated that the Delhi Police have launched an investigation into the incident. Chauhan, in his video, expressed surprise that such a theft could occur in the upscale locality he lives in, especially since the police heavily barricade the area at night to prevent thefts and untoward incidents. The police told The Indian Express that the district's Anti-Auto Theft Squad is looking into the theft and will tap into known networks of car thieves to identify the suspects. 'The machine that the suspects used to unlock the car is generally used by mechanics when car owners have lost their keys,' explained Amit Goel, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West. 'It is used to make duplicate keys in a matter of seconds and car thieves generally smuggle these machines to use in robberies,' he added.

As can be seen in this video that I took from my CCTV camera that CRETA is no longer safe outside and its security system has been hacked or leaked and can be bypassed in 60 seconds". He warned others against buying the Hyundai Creta. "Whoever is buying CRETA beware as it can be stolen any time," he said. He also expressed disappointment, writing, "If Delhi isn't safe, I don't even want to imagine the state of other places in India." Further, Mr Chauhan tagged Hyundai India, urging them to improve their security software. Reacting to the post, the company wrote, "This is not the impression we want you to have with your Hyundai Car. Your satisfaction is our foremost priority. Kindly DM us your contact details to assist you in the best way possible." Meanwhile, the video has gone viral, with over 3 million views. Reacting to the post, one user wrote, "Hey our creta also got stolen the same way back in November 2022, we haven't got the claim yet. We have filed a case against Hyundai, the authorised dealer and insurance company." "This is only possible because you forgot to take off the sticker that is next to the rear window of the car which contains sensitive information related to the car, (as seen in the video) if any techie guy gets his hands on them it's no big thing to steal your car in seconds," commented another.
