Confronting the employee who fails to accept responsibility.

1. When confronted with dependent or blaming behavior, persons who blame others may react with hostility. 2. Others who cope by blaming accept feelings of dependency and try to satisfy these feelings through attachment to strong protective figures who provide security. 3. When blaming is used in an interpersonal interaction, the manager should carefully assess the dynamics of the situation. 4. Techniques that help the employees to focus on the real difficulty can help deal with the underlying crisis and gain stability.
