Çalışma hayatında karşılaşılan en önemli sorunlardan biri işyerindeki saldırgan davranışlar, diğer bir ifade ile işyeri şiddetidir. İşyerinde şiddet, çalışanların sağlık ve güvenliğini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da, farklı sektörlerde işyerindeki saldırgan davranışların fiziksel, sözel, duygusal ve cinsel taciz boyutlarını ortaya koyarak, bu tür şiddet eylemlerine maruz kalma ve işyerinde şiddete tanık olmanın çalışanların stres, depresyon, kaygı ve iş tatmini üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Araştırma üç farklı sektörde çalışan toplam 204 örneklem üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, çalışanların %54,4’ü işyerinde fiziksel, duygusal, sözlü veya cinsel şiddet türlerinden en az birine maruz kalmıştır. En fazla maruz kalınan şiddet türü, sözel şiddet ve duygusal baskı ve yıldırma iken, en az maruz kalınan şiddet türü ise, cinsel şiddettir. Cinsiyet açısından, erkekler daha çok fiziksel şiddete maruz kalırken, kadınlar duygusal, sözel ve cinsel şiddet davranışları na erkeklere oranla daha fazla maruz kalmaktadır.
