Prejudice and Violence in the American Workplace, 1988-1991: Survey of an Eastern Corporation
This study was conducted to examine the nature and extent
of prejudice-based mistreatment of employees in the workplace. The
researchers investigated the effects of mistreatment on employees'
psychological well-being, interpersonal relationships, and perceptions
of the work environment. Personal interviews were conducted with 327
first-line workers at an American corporation in the middle Atlantic
states to determine workers' experiences of violence, discrimination,
and prejudice and their responses to such victimization. Three
dimensions of victimization were explored: personal victimization,
prejudiced victimization, and co-victimization. Self-reported symptoms
of post-traumatic stress were identified. Data were also collected to
ascertain job satisfaction and job autonomy and to determine if these
factors mitigate the effects of mistreatment. Demographic information
includes age, race, sex, income, education, marital status, ethnicity,
religion, handicap, and sexual orientation. The company involved in
the research has been kept anonymous.
