Dysfunction in the workplace, like a bully culture, affects women
and men differently. This book represents a broad spectrum of
disciplines including law, management, communications, human
resource management and industrial/organizational psychology and
offers integrative, cross-disciplinary inquiries into the many
roles gender plays in organizational dysfunction. The authors
provoke new questions and new streams of research, with the
ultimate goal of contributing to healthier workplaces for men and
women alike. This book looks at counterproductive work behavior
including aggression, bullying, incivility, sexual harassment,
sexual orientation harassment and absenteeism, and the effects of
job stress on mental health and well-being from the perspective of
gender - the gender of actors, targets and observers of abusive
interpersonal behaviors; gender-race interactions; gender-related
characteristics of workplace conflict, communication and stress;
socio-economic factors such as occupational expectations and roles
outside the workplace; and ambiguities in the law. Gender and the
Dysfunctional Workplace brings together a broad, multi-disciplinary
collection of authors who weigh in on topics from whether workplace
bullying is status- or gender-blind to the ramifications of
absenteeism on women and their careers. These scholars contribute
very different approaches and conceptualizations of
counterproductive work behavior, the result of which is a dynamic
and pioneering appraisal of the field and innovative musings on its
future. Instructors, students and researchers in the areas of
counterproductive work behavior, women's studies, occupational
health and stress, and conflict resolution will find this an
enlightening and thought-provoking treatise on a topic that, with
the help of research like that found here, will hopefully soon see
less prevalence in the workplace and beyond. Contributors: V.V.
