Dr. Laurenz Meier from the University of Friburg will visit us this week and give a talk in the SWE colloquium (Thursday, March 17th, 13:00; abstract follows).

Conflicts and Incivility at Work

The experience of interpersonal conflicts and incivility at work is part of daily life for many employees. I will talk about consequences as well as antecedents of antisocial behavior at work, thereby focusing on the role of work conditions and personal characteristics. I devote special attention to the vicious circle between stressful work conditions, impaired well-being, and antisocial behavior towards supervisors, co-workers, and family members.
