An examination of anti‐violence human resource management practices in the context of health care and aged care
开发了反暴力人力资源管理实践的量表，并在老年护理机构中验证其能减少员工遭受的暴力、改善情绪健康并提升组织与职业承诺。
Abstract Although accumulated research has demonstrated the negative impacts of workplace violence and called for effective solutions from a human resource management (HRM) perspective, a valid measure of anti‐violence HRM practices is missing. In this paper, we develop a scale of anti‐violence HRM practices that is critical for both theoretical advancement and managerial practices in health care and aged care contexts. Through an inductive approach in Study 1, we generated items for the scale to be used in health care and aged care contexts, which we then subjected to a content validity test in Study 2. Using the newly developed scale, we further demonstrated in Study 3 that anti‐violence HRM practices that are implemented in aged care facilities reduce workers' experienced violence, improve workers' emotional wellbeing, and enhance workers' organisational and career commitment.
