No matter what the size, the people component of a business organization is a microcosm
of our society, representing a cross-section of the good, the bad and the ugly. As such, we should not be surprised that violence has moved from the homes and streets and into the businesses.
Compound this social reality with today's business realities and one should realize that some people may use irrational behavior
in the form of violence as a means of conflict resolution in the workplace, just as it is mirrored in an increasingly violent society.
Increased business competition (nationally and internationally), increased levels of stress,
insecurity due to downsizing and outsourcing, economic instability and greater productivity/profitability demands with less capital and fewer people may fuel the volcano of
human emotions expressed through feelings of fear, stress, hopelessness, powerlessness and anger. These feelings are typically characteristic of potentially vilent people.
Within our society, violence has permeated all socioeconomic groups and all business
sectors to the point that people are afraid to come out of their homes or enter the workplace. Therefore, employees once concerned about workplace health and safety issues, are now
concerned about their total environment. Everyone, everywhere wants to feel safe. It is a basic human psychological need.
