The concept of "workplace ostracism" has recently received much attention from management professionals and researchers. This study analyzes the connection between ostracism in the workplace and intention to leave that workplace, as well as the role that personality factors play in mediating that connection, notably openness to experience and neuroticism. The study is conducted with a questionnaire and the respondents to the questionnaire are employees in various job roles within the different organizations. Results indicate that workplace ostracism has been recognized as an important variable in human resource management which may have several organizational antecedents and consequences such as turnover intention, openness to experience, and neuroticism.
