Abstract
Addresses the reasons, costs and kinds of violence in the workplace. Looks at the effects of stress in the workplace, and what managers can do to prevent violence from happening in their organizations. Outlines some preventive strategies, and concludes that it is essential that all levels of an organization receive some form of training about the potential for violence in the workplace.
