Workplace ostracism is a typical workplace phenomenon defined as the degree to which individuals are seen to be disregarded or distanced by their employees. Workplace ostracism reduces people's opportunities for social connection, which is necessary for them to satisfy their psychological requirements. The aim of the paper is to find the impact of workplace ostracism on the ethical performance of employees. Any workplace requires constant evaluation of several aspects to achieve the desired level of performance. Strong or weak work ethics are linked to job performance depending on how much an employee sports honesty, a sense of responsibility, quality, self-discipline, and a sense of togetherness in their work output. Personnel must support ethical behavior and prevent unethical behavior that might impair the company's image and productivity. The paper shows that workplace ostracism has a positive effect on stress because it increases the tension of ostracized workers, but it has a negative influence on employee engagement since it reduces employee participation at work.
