Study Notes
Workplace Violence
- Workplace violence is not explicitly mentioned in the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) guidelines.
- Certain factors increase the risk of violence, like working with money (cashiers, tellers, bill collectors), providing services (healthcare professionals), or managing change (HR professionals).
- Companies in the Philippines that have written policies regarding workplace violence include TeleTech, Fluor Corporation, Citigroup, and Golder Associates.
Bullying at Work
- Bullying is unwanted behaviors from employees or groups, over time, resulting in humiliation and distress.
- Bullying can include teasing, yelling, or even physical attributes becoming the topic of jokes.
- Some perpetrators may be unaware of their actions' repercussions or justify them based on stressful situations.
- No specific "victim personality" exists, but certain circumstances like being part of an out-group can increase the risk of being targeted.
- Bullying victims report difficulty sleeping and other negative effects.
Effects of Bullying on the Workplace
- Bullying negatively affects productivity, quality of work, and employee mental health (negative affect, mood states).
- Bullying is positively correlated with turnover, affecting both the direct target and those who witness it.
- Witnessing bullying creates a climate of fear and increases the intention to leave the organization.
Resolving Workplace Bullying
- Organizational context can help alleviate bullying.
- Constructive leadership promotes clarity of expectations, ensuring consistency in resource use, behaviors, and work outputs.
The Employment Relationship
- The employment relationship involves two key elements: the economic contract and the psychological contract.
- The Economic Contract outlines the basic principle of a fair wage for a fair day's work.
- It mandates minimum rights for workers regarding wages, benefits (parental leave, sick leave, occupational health, and safety), and termination (including unfair dismissal).
- The Psychological Contract involves employee beliefs regarding the mutual obligations between the employer and employee.
Termination of Employment
- Security of tenure guarantees employees' right to employment but also imposes obligations to obey, trust, and be faithful to the organization.
- Just causes for termination include serious misconduct, gross neglect, fraud, commission of a crime against the employer or their family, and other analogous causes.
