Abstract

The social and emotional paranoid-schizoid roots of aggression and violence in the self and within the workplace are a key to better understanding violence and aggression in groups and organizations. The intent in this chapter is to examine the psychological nature of the relationship between human nature and the origins of fear and aggression at work (Czander, 1993; Diamond, 1993; Kets de Vries & Miller, 1984; Levinson, 1972, 1981; Zaleznik & Kets de Vries, 1975). We suggest that oppressive organizational cultures and persecutory organizational experiences are toxic and contributing factors to violence and aggression at work.
