“…The evidence base on the impacts of DV in the workplace is only beginning to emerge, and the majority of studies to date have been conducted in the United States. Some of this research is qualitative in nature 26 , 27 and, although valuable in its own right, is not directly comparable with our quantitative findings. We are aware of no research that is directly comparable with our gender analyses of the impacts of DV at work.…”

Objective:When workers experience domestic violence (DV) at home, impacts are felt in the workplace; however, little research is available on this topic.Methods:We conducted an online survey regarding the impacts of DV at work.Results:A total of 8429 people completed the survey. More than a third of respondents reported experiencing DV; among them, more than a third reported that DV affected their ability to get to work, and more than half reported that it continued at or near work. Most reported that DV negatively affected their performance. Almost all respondents, regardless of DV experience, believed that it impacts victims' work lives.Conclusions:This research identifies the scope and impact of DV on workers and workplaces. The data should assist governments, unions, and employers to enact and evaluate proactive practices to address the impact of DV in the workplace.

“…Employed women have been found to commonly disclose their abuse to their supervisors and/or co-workers, sometimes for the purpose of receiving advice and support. The support may benefit their well being and employment outcomes Swanberg and Macke 2006), although neither mediator nor buffering effects of social support on employment outcomes have been found in longitudinal research (Staggs et al 2007). Wettersten et al (2004) found that women reported receiving support from their workplace and valued the recognition and understanding of their situation from their supervisors.…”

The authors draw on social support theory to examine supervisor support match (support wanted and received), support mismatch (support not wanted and received) and work outcomes for abused low-wage working women, and to determine if supervisor support match and mismatch are more strongly associated with work outcomes than global supervisor support Face-to-face interviews were conducted with a community sample of abused, employed women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) in the past year (N = 163). Using hierarchical regression, we found, after accounting for global supervisor support; a higher level of supervisor support match was associated with greater job satisfaction, fewer job reprimands and less job termination. Findings from the study inform theories of social support and have practical implications for workplace interventions for IPV.

“…Consequences associated with women's experience of employment interference were measured using seven items developed and used previously (Swanberg and Macke 2006). Examples of items addressing consequences of employment interference include Bunable to concentrate,^Bunable to go to work,^and Bwent home sick because upset about abuse.Ê ach item representing any of the seven consequences was rated on a 4-point rating scale ranging from B0=never^to B3=daily.Ĉ ranbach's alpha for the seven items in our study was 0.84.…”

Intimate Partner Violence and Female Nurses’ Employment: Disclosure and Consequences

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study examined the relationship between women's disclosure of intimate partner violence and their experience of employment interference, work-related consequences, and work participation in 140 nurses. Participants reported experiencing at least one employment interference tactic and 40 % of them disclosed their experience. Employment interference, work-related consequences, and work participation did not differ between nurses who disclosed violence/employment interference and those who did not. Further, our participants may have chosen to disclose employment interference in order to express their discomfort rather than to seek assistance or advice. Distribution of power governed by gender is an obstacle facing women in Jordan, limiting the extent to which they can be protected from experiencing IPV in the workplace.
