Book Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression

Download or read book Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression written by Nathan A. Bowling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars, addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression. Of note, the book encompasses the various labels used by researchers to refer to workplace aggression, such as 'abusive supervision', 'bullying', 'incivility' and 'interpersonal conflict'. This approach differs from those of previous books on the topic in that it does not focus on a particular type of workplace aggression, but covers an intentionally broad conceptualization of workplace aggression - specifically, it considers aggression from both the aggressors' and the targets' perspectives and includes behaviors enacted by several types of perpetrators, including supervisors, coworkers and customers.

Book excerpt: Despite its global prevalence and the detrimental effects for organisations, intimate partner aggression (IPA) remains a serious problem that transcends the home to affect the workplace. Grounded in conservation of resources (COR) theory, the present study examines the relationship between IPA and work outcomes, specifically task performance and organisational citizenship behaviour, through the mediating role of psychological distress. Additionally, the current research investigates perceived supervisor support (PSS) as an organisational buffer against the stress of abuse. The moderated-mediation model was tested using two independent samples from Singapore and the Philippines in the pilot study and the main study, providing evidence of constructive replication. Pilot study data using a sample of employed women (n = 36) supported the positive relationship between IPA and psychological distress. Using a temporal research design (i.e. four-week interval between two measurement periods), the main study tested the hypothesised relationships with a sample of 228 employee-supervisor dyads. Results showed that the conditional indirect effects of IPA in predicting work outcomes via psychological distress were stronger at low as opposed to high levels of PSS. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. Practitioner Points * IPA decreases job performance due to experienced psychological distress. * Supervisors can help alleviate the negative impacts of IPA by offering instrumental and emotional support. * Organisations can engage employee assistance programs to provide training for supervisors and to help develop workplace policies addressing IPA.

Book Examining Gender Related Differences in the Implicit Attitude Towards Partner Violence

Download or read book Examining Gender Related Differences in the Implicit Attitude Towards Partner Violence written by Mario Schlemmer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 1, Klagenfurt University (Institut für Psychologie), language: English, abstract: This thesis explores if the implicit attitude towards intimate partner violence (IPV) varies systematically as a function of observers and perpetrators gender, if women and men as observers have different implicit attitude towards IPV depending on which gender is the perpetrator and which gender is the victim of IPV. Until recently research on attitudes towards IPV has focused on explicit attitudes, while partner violence may have automatic behavioral components guided by implicit beliefs and attitudes. In the present thesis, the IAT - a measure of implicit attitudes that is easily adaptable to different contexts - measured participants implicit attitude towards gender-specific physical IPV. Participants (74 women and 20 men) also completed explicit measures which assessed partner violence victimization and perpetration, emotional flooding, feminist attitudes, rape myth acceptance, explicit attitudes towards IPV and depressive symptoms. The analysis revealed that in the IAT women strongly preferred violence of women against men over violence of men against women, while male participants showed no gendered bias. This finding demonstrates the importance of women's own gender bias for their implicit attitude towards incidents of intimate partner violence.

Book Workplace Ostracism

Download or read book Workplace Ostracism written by Cong Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace mistreatment is a burgeoning topic of interest, with the majority of workers having experienced it in some form. This book explores workplace ostracism and its negative effects on employee and organizational outcomes, such as employee attitudes, behaviors, and well-being. This edited volume defines workplace ostracism and examines how to differentiate ostracism from other type of workplace mistreatment, such as workplace incivility and interpersonal conflict. Among the questions it seeks to answer are: 1) what are the individual, relational, and contextual factors that influence employees’ workplace ostracism experiences; and 2) what constitutes ostracism in stigmatized populations, such as international students, immigrant workers, and older workers. Researchers in organizational behavior, I/O psychology, and the sociology of work will find this book to be a valuable resource.

Book Coping With Intimate Partner Violence at Work  An Exploration of Coping Styles and Perceived Work Support on Family to Work Conflict in a Intimate Partner Violence Sample

Download or read book Coping With Intimate Partner Violence at Work An Exploration of Coping Styles and Perceived Work Support on Family to Work Conflict in a Intimate Partner Violence Sample written by Charmane Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to gain a better understanding of consequences of family-to-work conflict (FWC)in a sample of women(N = 69)who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). It was proposed that the level of IPV would positively relate to the level of FWC. It also was proposed that participants would differ in coping styles and their perceptions of work support that they received, and that these differences would moderate the relationship of family-to-work conflict and its relationships with organizational (job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and negative affect at work), psychological (depression and perceived stress) and physical health (physical symptoms and inflammation response) outcomes. It was hypothesized that the strengths of the FWC-outcome relationships would be weaker for women who engaged in higher levels of the two problem-focused coping styles of active coping and seeking support for instrumental reasons. It was also hypothesized that the strengths of the FWC-outcome relationships would be greater for individuals who engaged in higher levels of two emotion-focused coping strategies (seeking emotional support and venting) and three avoidance-focused coping strategies (self-distraction, denial, and behavioral disengagement). Additionally, the strength of the moderating effect of emotion- and avoidance-focused coping was proposed to be dependent on whether a woman experienced levels of PTSD symptoms that would result in a diagnosis. In terms of results this may be one of the first studies to demonstrate a positive relationship between levels of IPV and FWC. The current study also found that FWC significantly positively predicted turnover intentions for this IPV sample. The moderation analyses showed several significant interaction effects of FWC with avoidance-focused coping strategies, but none for either the problem-focused or emotion-focused strategies.There was also one significant interaction of FWC with work support on physical health symptoms. Interestingly, the interactions which involved two forms of avoidance-focused coping predicting a self-report outcome showed a pattern opposite to that predicted. In contrast, the model with an objective health outcome (C-Reactive proteins) was as predicted. This study contributed to the work-family literature by exploring how individual coping styles influenced FWC in a low socioeconomic sample of women who have experienced IPV.

Book Breaking Apart Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse

Download or read book Breaking Apart Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse written by Shondrah Tarrezz Nash and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking Apart Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse provides a thorough examination of intimate partner violence and abuse, encompassing the nature, influences, and impact of its presence in interpersonal relationships. By "pulling together" representative studies and other evidence-based analyses by researchers and interventionists, this comprehensive overview surveys the prevalence, patterns, and common risk factors among a number of demographics, including women, men, transpeople, partners in opposite- and same-sex relationships, teen dating partners, later-life partners and abused partners with disabilities. The authors also disentangle – that is, "break apart" – the factors of race, class, gender, sexuality, gender expression and culture by exploring their effects on experiences of intimate partner violence and abuse perpetration and victimization. Although less scrutinized in current literature on the topic, discourse and institutional barriers to abused women’s well-being and safety are also delved into, particularly those exacerbated by rural isolation, non-national status and theologies. The authors supplement their in-depth overview by highlighting protective measures and resources throughout, identifying treatments and public health approaches to violence and abuse intervention and prevention, as well as incorporating discussion exercises and illustrations that extend the book’s concepts into real-life settings. In their exploration of the forms, causes, prevalence, and consequences of intimate partner violence and abuse among different groups, the authors address the problem with both nuance and scope. Combined with their evidence-based recommendations, the book offers valuable insight for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of domestic and family abuse and intimate partner violence.

Book Examining the Role of Social Support in the Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Depression

Download or read book Examining the Role of Social Support in the Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Depression written by Breanna Lynn Free and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to assess perceived social support as a moderator of the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression. An additional facet of the current study included examination of how IPV measurement might impact results. Participants included 151 racially diverse female survivors of IPV. Two separate path analyses were conducted to assess social support as a moderator of the association between IPV measured both as a unitary construct and as three subtypes (physical IPV, sexual IPV, and psychological IPV) and depression. We expected that differences in findings would emerge based on how IPV was measured, such that social support would influence the relationship between IPV measured as a unitary construct, but not with each subtype and depression. When assessed as a unitary construct, the model examining whether perceived social support moderated the association between IPV and depression was not significant. When assessed as subtypes, the model examining whether perceived social support moderated the association between each type and depression was significant. Results indicated that social support moderated the association between sexual IPV and depression. At low levels of social support, lower levels of depression were noted at low levels of sexual IPV compared to high levels of sexual IPV. This association was not significant at higher levels of social support. Social support did not moderate the association between physical IPV or psychological IPV and depression. These findgins suggest that perceived social support, more specifically low perceived social support, may be particularly relevant with regard to sexual IPV. The current findings suggest that stratifying IPV by type rather than as a unitary construct may be relevant in understanding which variables impact the association between IPV and mental health outcomes. .

Download or read book To Have and To Hurt written by Angela Brownemiller Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, nearly 2 million injuries and some 1,300 deaths result from so-called intimate partner violence. In this work, psychotherapist Browne-Miller uses vignettes, as well as standing and emerging research, to detail both healthy and hurtful relationships and to show partners how to recognize and change relationships on, or headed toward, the path to abuse. She also explains when to leave a relationship, as well as how to do that so as to disentangle without further harm. This is a book that will interest not only those involved in, or who know of someone who is or might be involved in, an abusive relationship, but also students and scholars of psychology, counseling, social work, women's studies, and men's studies. When Cathy and John married 20 years ago, the relationship seemed almost charmed. But over the years as John's career became more established and Cathy raised the family of three children, things changed. First angry fights developed, followed by verbal and gestured threats of violence, and later, actual physical attacks and injuries. Several times Cathy called police, but when they arrived, fearing the social stigma as well as John's retribution, she would explain her injuries as dealt out by a prowler. When friends or family asked, she would claim the cuts or bruises were due to a fall or some other accident. But eventually, when her arm had been broken, a tooth knocked out, and her face bruised so badly she could not cover it up with makeup, she finally left the house and her husband—only to be stalked. Cathy and John are one couple that Angela Browne-Miller introduces us to in this book that looks at the increasingly publicized incidence of intimate partner violence, abuse that takes place behind closed doors, inside marriages and other loving relationships. Only a fraction of this abuse is ever reported, so just a fragment of the problem is reflected in national statistics that show nearly 2 million injuries and some 1,300 deaths annually caused by this so-called intimate partner violence. In this work, Browne-Miller uses vignettes, as well as standing and emerging research, to help us recognize the difference between a relationship being effected by normal stressors, and one that is abusive, or perhaps even deadly. Psychotherapist Browne-Miller details both healthy and hurtful relationships and shows partners how to recognize and change relationships on, or headed down, the path to abuse. And she also explains when we should leave a relationship, as well as how to do that to disentangle without further harm. This is a book that will interest not only lay readers who are involved in, or know of someone who is or might be involved in, an abusive relationship, but also students and scholars of psychology, counseling, social work, women's studies, and men's studies.

Book Gender Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse

Download or read book Gender Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse written by John Hamel, LCSW and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005-02-08 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This breakthrough handbook for mental health professionals and educators offers practical, hands-on information for conducting assessments and providing treatments that take the entire family system into account. Rich with research that shows women are abusive within relationships at rates comparable to men, the book eschews the field's reliance on traditional domestic violence theory and treatment, which favors violence interventions for men and victim services for women and ignores the dynamics of the majority of violent relationships. Thus, the author identifies and measures protocols that help practitioners make accurate assessments for both men and women and then carefully selects the treatment modality and curricula for group, couples, and/or individual work that will help clients break their particular cycle of violence while ensuring victim safety.

Book Intimate Partner Violence

Download or read book Intimate Partner Violence written by Elizabeth A. Bates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been explained through the patriarchal desire of men to control and dominate women, but this gendered perspective limits both our understanding of IPV and its treatment. Intimate Partner Violence: New Perspectives in Research and Practice is the first book of its kind to present a detailed and rigorous critique of current domestic violence research and practice within the same volume. In this challenging new text, with contributions from the UK, the US, and Canada, the subject is assessed from a more holistic position. It provides a critical analysis of the issue of domestic violence including issues that are often not part of the mainstream discussion. Each of the chapters tackles a different area of research or practice, from a critical review of contemporary topics in domestic violence research, including a critical review of men’s use of violence in relationships, a consideration of male victims, IPV within the LGBTQ+ community, perceptions of perpetrators and victims, and IPV within adolescent populations. The second half of the book examines challenges and opportunities for professionals working in the field and includes an analysis of an evidence informed perpetrator programme, the challenges faced working with male victims, and a discussion of the impact of domestic violence on children. Culminating with a series of evidence-based recommendations to bridge the divide between academic and practitioner stakeholders and to inform future working practices, this is an essential resource for students and practitioners alike.
