| Abstract |
This article deals with the issue of violence and aggressiveness at the place of work. It describes the various types of physically and mentally violent behaviour that can be found in occupational settings, as well as the manners and behavioural attitudes of bullying (cutting off communication, casting slurs on a person's reputation, depreciating a person's qualifications). Night workers and isolated workers are more vulnerable to these forms of aggression. The consequences of violence and bullying are serious, and can even lead to suicide; they affect workers not only at the personal level, but also in terms of their work (loss of motivation, increased risks of accident). |
