Applying traditional approaches to psychological injury in the workplace – have we been barking up the wrong tree?

  • Summary

  • It’s time for Kate & Greg to wax lyrical about one of the most challenging psychosocial risks – interpersonal conflict. Thankfully, the article published on LinkedIn by Karolina Dobson, referencing a study by Gutierrez & Bazeley (2006) brings an evidence base and helpful frameworks into the conversation so it doesn’t wander too far off track!Once again, the complexity of managing psychosocial risk is highlighted in this fascinating conversation. Are all psychosocial risks of equal “risk”? Are all conflicts of equal “risk”? And how do organisations navigate the reality that, just like with stress – not all conflict is harmful, and not all individuals have the same tolerance or response to conflict. Can’t we all just be “adults” and sort it out between ourselves when conflict arises? If only it was that simple….If you are of drinking age and inclination, this is probably an episode where pouring yourself a standard measure of your favourite tonic will complement the conversation nicely.- A review and discussion of Karolina Dobson’s LinkedIn Article, “Applying traditional approaches to psychological injury in the workplace: Have we been barking up the wrong tree?”- Discussion of the research paper by Gutierrez, R and Bazely, P (2006).
