I'm interested to carry out a study on how workplace harassment affects employee job satisfaction in business organisations. One of my MBA students also has shown interest in this research topic. Could you kindly share papers on the association between workplace harassment and job satisfaction?
I am a little puzzled by both the question and professionals' responses.... I have been working in the field of Military Sexual Trauma, Sexual Assault on Campuses and now Sexual Violence in the Workplace..... so not exactly sure what the particular question refers to when talks about Aggression in the workplace which can take many forms - shootings, bank robberies, intimidation of lower level workers, gender bias etc.... Bullying has been a term used particularly in the Schoolyards although I gather it can be also addressed in the Workplace..... But no one seems to be addressing the current issue which is so prevalent at least here in the US and I believe other countries... and that is Sexual Assault/Harassment in the Workplace.... None of the articles seem to address this particular concern which is huge and underneath some of these other forms of aggression in the workplace..... Please if anyone has any more direct information on how various companies/countries are currently are dealing with this issue in the workplace, many of us would love to hear of any helpful suggestions.... Thanks!
The following meta-analysis looks at sexual and nonsexual harassment at work in their relationship to job satisfaction.

Dear Driss sir, I prefer papers in English alone, as it's the only international language I know. Thank you sir.
Workplace harassments are of different types and have different intensities. For instance, workplace politics is one way of harassment and are generally common. It is not measurable but affects psychologically. Employees get immune to it as time passes or become a part of it or remain indifferent. Those who get immune to it and become a part of it do not work anymore as they concentrate more on what will be their next political move. So there is no question of job satisfaction as such they are not taking efforts to work. While those who remain indifferent get targeted by workplace politics. They then simply concentrate on Job assigned to them. For them the job is for 8 or 9 hours only. They do not take efforts for innovation. Such people does not sustain at work place for long. It is important that Heads of the organization must identify and motivate them who is contributing in job and not entertain those who deal in politics. Thus, the organization ted to loose good employee.
Here is a presentation we did in Chicago as well as a paper in English that might help get you started.... much more is coming .... just not published yet.... Important topic but so far most of the information is just that news reports versus carefully conducted research. If anyone knows of research on Sexual Assault in the Workplace - I would really appreciate it.. Thanks!
