The first article I chose is called “Case Study in Threats of Workplace Violence From a Non-Supervisory Basis. The case study explores ethical and legal issues concerning employees who bring weapons to work and the psychological effect of that on other employees (Taylor & Zeng). Another thing that is examined in this case study is peer bullying and threats of workplace violence. The accompanying literature of this cause study states that the reason why the violence made by women to the men is because, number one, it’s being ignored frequently due to the fact of gender stereotyping. Although this case study is about a female threatening a male coworker, Chavez reviewed a 280 sampling of internal workplace violence is a vengeful act overwhelmingly carried out by men (Taylor & Zeng). Workplace violence is a big issue and it can represent extreme issue in the work place; and traumatize professional and person effects. Could the lack of inappropriate managerial reaction in the case study be also attributed to the gender of the aggressor? Chavez found that acts of violence are usually committed by males and threats of violence by women may not be taken seriously in the workplace because of gender stereotyping (Taylor & Zeng). Employers can avoid the workplace violence and harassment instances if a vigilant hiring process was being used. When there is bullying going on in the workplace, employers have to act quickly. The employer needs to have an increased security and install metal detectors in order to make their employees feel safe and comfortable. However, in this scenario it was not done, they created a rule for no guns to be allowed at work. The study of this was made on a man name Sam. This rule didn’t work for him. He still feared that Mrs. G. had a gun in her tote bag at work. The scenario indicates that when one of the risks of doing nothing or not enough to make
