| Publisher Description: Adriansen, David J., Workplace Violence Prevention Training: An Analysis of Employees' Attitudes. Doctor of Education, Applied Training, Technology and Development (ATTD), May 2005, 135 pp., 18 tables, references, 47 titles. The purpose of this study was to determine employees' attitudes and perceptions toward the effectiveness of workplace violence prevention training within a U.S. Government service agency with 50 offices located in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the phenomenon of workplace violence, the movement toward prevention programs and policies and the implementation of prescreening processes during hiring and violence prevention training. Chapter 2 contains a thorough review of pertinent literature related to violence prevention training and the impact of occupational violence. An assessment of 1000 employees concerning their attitudes and per-ceptions toward the effectiveness of workplace violence prevention training was measured, assessed, and compared. Significant differences were found calling for the rejection of the three study hypotheses. Chapter 4 and 5 describe the study findings and recommendations. |
