Abstract

Healthcare organizations, like all organizations, are increasingly more concerned about workplace violence. This paper discusses the collision of a cultural context that encourages macho posturing and moral panic related to highly publicized violence in schools and workplaces. At issue is the need for healthcare organizations to react to evidence of potential workplace violence but not to overreact.
