ABSTRACT
In the academic discipline of business, the main concern has been mostly concentrated on providing new methods and tools in order to enable managers to operate their firm in a way which will increase the shareholder value of the firm. The dynamism of the macro-economic world concerns the individuals living a daily experience in organizations, both local and multinational. The way in which the economy is driven nowadays is reflected directly in the way of living of individuals inside and outside organizations. This chapter explores some of its representations, its causes and some suggestions about what could be done. To generate some changes in the actual reality, a deep comprehension of the psychological violence being inflicted at work is needed. People do this by exemplifying some of the psychological situations faced on a daily basis in the work environment, such as: ethnic discrimination, psychological intimidation, and physical violence, all acting to the detriment of the human and collective aspects.
