The incubator: bridging the gap between romantic relationships and sexual harassment in organizations

Article Abstract:

Workplace romances may lead to sexual harassment due to negative feelings created after a relationship, including those between a superior and subordinate, is dissolved. Management may avoid situations that foster sexual harassment by asking people involved in an organization to sign a written contract that specifically calls for the relocation of the office space where one of the parties involved works to another part of the building in the event of a break-up.

Time revisited in organizational behavior

Article Abstract:

Research should study the relationships between time, various emotions and organizational success as well as how the emotions displayed at one level of the group are transmitted throughout the organization. Future research should also simultaneously examine the impact on employee performance of both short-term and state-like changes in well-being and long-term or trait-like changes in well-being.
