Bu makale, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği perspektifiyle iş yerinde şiddetin farklı türlerini, sebeplerini ve bu şiddetin etkilerini detaylı bir şekilde ele almaktadır. Dünya çapında çalışanların beşte birinden fazlasının yaşamları boyunca iş yerinde şiddete ve tacize uğraması, bu sorunun önemli bir araştırma konusu olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmada, fiziksel şiddetin yanı sıra daha karmaşık ve yaygın olan psikolojik şiddet gibi olgulara da odaklanılmıştır. Bu şiddet türlerinin, iş yerindeki insan ilişkilerine, çalışanların psikolojik ve fizyolojik sağlığına etkileri kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, iş yerinde şiddetin yaygın nedenleri, sonuçları ve bu tür şiddetlerin önlenebilmesi için alınabilecek stratejiler tartışılmıştır. İş yerlerinde sağlıklı, güvenli ve destekleyici bir ortam oluşturulabilmesi adına uygulanabilecek önlemler önerilmiştir. Makale, işverenler, çalışanlar, araştırmacılar ve politika yapıcılar için değerli bir kaynak oluşturmakta olup, iş yerindeki şiddeti tanıma, anlama ve önleme konusunda farkındalık oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu sayede, iş yerinde şiddetin etkilerinin azaltılması ve daha sağlıklı bir çalışma ortamının sağlanması hedeflenmektedir.
