Beschreibung

This international collection examines violence and abuse in and around organisations. The collection documents the causes, specifically from the perspective of human relations and of the workplace conditions. It also highlights the specific risks associated with high-risk professions or working environments.

The first section considers types of violence and abuse, their relative frequencies, potential individual and workplace antecedents, costs to individuals, family's organisations and societies, the fact both are increasing in frequency with new types (e.g., terrorism) appearing, and why addressing these has become increasingly important for individuals and organisations. The second section considers violence in interpersonal relationships such as bullying, incivility, bias and harassment, and toxic leadership. The third section examines unsafe workplaces, accidents, injuries, and deaths. The fourth section considers exploitive work conditions and arrangements such as precarious employment, the exploitation of immigrants, and human slavery. The final section offers suggestions on ways to address violence and abuse in and around organisations. These include aggression preventative supervisor behaviours in health care, suicide prevention in the workplace, dealing with disgruntled employees and former employees, and workplace interventions that address stress reduction more broadly.

As with other titles in the Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk Series, this research-based collection is firmly grounded in the boundary between work and society and offers important insights into how social and cultural problems are manifest in the workplace and how poor and abusive workplace practice, in turn, spills out into wider life.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Professors Burke and Cooper have pulled together a stellar group of researchers to expand our knowledge of violence and abuse in organizations. The international collection addresses one of the most important topics in contemporary society, and will serve to elevate dialogue and scientific investigation into prevention and intervention. Kudos to Ron and Cary for shining a light on such challenging and pressing issues for leaders and organizations. We must KNOW more about violence and abuse in organizations, and then DO more." - Debra L. Nelson, Ph.D, CEO, NelsonQuick Group
