Sažetak
Controlling workplace violence is often focused on the violence that comes from outside the organization. However, recent data show an alarming increase in violence, as well as physical and various forms of psychological violence that is happening just in the workplace within the organization itself. Considering the fact that the consequences of any form of workplace violence are various and very serious, as well as the fact that human capital is crucial for any organization, its prevention and control have an extremely important role. The focus of this paper is placed on the causes of workplace violence arising from the organization itself, and especially from the dominant organizational culture, and in this regard, on establishing their successful control. Changing organizational culture, given that it is a source located within the organization, represents the best means of establishing control of this phenomenon. Also, the resources, as well as the influence, that are at disposal to managers, whose role in creation of organizational culture and controlling of various aspects of safety is crucial, definitely should not be ignored. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the establishment of successful workplace violence control, as one of safety aspects, as well as increasing the awareness of this problem.
