Abstract Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) is defined as shared perceptions of organizational policies, practices and procedures for the protection of worker psychological health and safety, that stem largely from management practices.

In my previous couple of posts, I’ve written about some papers that explore the relationship between organisational / safety climate and the risks of workplace violence.

Abstract Objectives: Workplace violence in the health sector […]

Some research papers cover a lot of data about a very narrowly scoped research question that can be summed up very succinctly. This is one such paper. The […]
