INAPPROPRIATE WORK PLACE BEHAVIORS
INAPPROPRIATE WORK PLACE BEHAVIORS
Workplace violence has emerged as an important
safety and health issue in today's workplace. Its
most extreme form, homicide, is the second leading
cause of fatal occupational injury and accounts for
11% of the fatal work injuries in the United States.
YOUR WORK PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIORS
One argument that you may hear, is that if you try
to influence the test results then you will have to
operate ‘outside’ of your personality type for 40
hours a week. This is overstating the case to the
point of absurdity; very few people would even
consider applying for a job which was totally
unsuitable for them.
ABUSIVE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT ETC.
Higher level managers have been known to bad
mouth employees, sexually harass, be verbally
abusive and degrading, and threaten their
employees. Aggressive managers are threatened of
other employees rising through the ranks and have
been known to make comments regarding keeping
employees from advancing.
DISCRIMINATION
The sales team of a German mechanical
engineering company comprises seven women, 40
men, two employees with disabilities, two Spanish
employees, one Chinese employee, two Japanese
employees, one Indian employee, one Kenyan
employee and two US employees of Mexican origin,
as well as German employees.
