The workplace itself is a confluence of high-tech stress, dehumanization and the culture of violence. Both workers and management bring their socialization with them to the job. If the organizational culture accepts the culture of violence, a toxic workplace results. There is no participatory decision-making that empowers employees and contributes to creativity and job satisfaction. Work demands more and encourages less.
Employees lack dignity, worth and value as human beings.
Management-employee relations are strained. Resolution of grievances through nonviolent conflict resolution strategies is lacking. Personnel turnover is high creating further instability and reducing productivity since new workers must continually be trained. Low morale and hostility become a way of work. Those who work hard and give their loyalty to the company are no longer rewarded with job security.
