People are more likely to be objectified and to objectify others at work than outside of work. Objectification is the treatment of people as objects—objects to be used, for example, or objects that are replaceable, or objects that have no control over what happens to them. The root cause of objectification is the calculative and strategic thinking that dominates the workplace, where relationships are often based on how individuals can use others to achieve goals.
