Abstract

The modern way of life tends to push us to work more that we have used to, in this aspect it is very important for everyone to balance work and private life as much as possible. Modern pace of work is often affected by workplace violence, mostly verbal, psychological and in some cases also physical violence. Violence at the workplace is very hard to detect, especially when we are talking about psychological violence and verbal violence, though physical violence is easier to detect there is much less of it found at the workplace. Victims of workplace violence in most cases deny the existence of this violence since they are concerned what will happen if they disclose the violence. The reason for this is fairly simple in vast majority of workplace violence it is the violence of superiors toward employees. In this article we are trying to establish what are the effects of workplace violence on worklife balance? Through the online research we will gather opinions of interviewees regarding the occurrence of workplace violence and how do they feel that this affects their work-life balance. Research based on opinions is going to be conducted due to the fact that victims tend to avoid disclosing their cases of workplace violence, thus making it hard to investigate this phenomenon. We expect results to show that workplace violence impacts work-life balance in a significant way.
