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.
