Giacalone (human resources management, Temple University) and Promislo (management, Rider University) advocate a human-centered approach to unethical behavior in the workplace, focusing on the
impact of unethical behavior on individuals and on the well-being of the organization as a whole. Contributors in areas such as social epidemiology, organizational behavior and psychology, and
human resource management look at a broad range of behaviors, such as sexual harassment, age and racial discrimination, violence, and fraud. Major themes are attacks on others, work stress,
individual differences, and organizational and societal perspectives. Some specific subjects addressed include the impact of ostracism on well-being in organizations, organizational justice and
cardiovascular health, and a model of a virtuous business cycle. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
