PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WORKPLACE HARASSMENT AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES: A REVIEW

Harassment in any manner affects the outlook of the individual who faces it but when people at your workplace start treating you bad life turns into a nightmare. This research paper comes up with a review of some of the researches done in the field. Research says that not only women but men also become the victim of workplace harassment and that too to a great extent. In case of a man it may be the use of foul language or at times it turns into a physical encounter with colleagues. It is altogether a different thing that the sexual harassment in case of women crosses the limit at times. Life in itself becomes difficult when the organization you work for makes your life turns into distress and misery. In some cases the work life trouble grows into a threat to the life of the victim. The research paper is an attempt to highlight the emotional and psychological trauma that an individual goes through during the course of workplace harassment. It is an effort to help employees learn how to face the workplace harassment head on. It is also an attempt to find ways to make victim's life a little less miserable as a far as the workplace harassment is concerned. Harassment in the workplaces is so pervasive that it creates an unpleasant work environment that is harmful for the employees as well as for the organization in the long run.
