But then you can share that emotion and you will have crossed that expression threshold. Remember, there are two thresholds: what is the impropriety threshold? There is space between the expression threshold and the impropriety threshold, and in that space between, is where all the good things happen with emotional expression.
So if you cross the impropriety threshold, though, we would call that a deviant emotion. But if you cross at the second threshold, at the impropriety threshold, we combat deviant expression or deviant emotion because it deviates [] from acceptable norms.
Everyone has their own level of what they consider acceptable. If the expression and impropriety thresholds are very close together, so that merely expressing anger is appropriate. That describes many of our service workers, for instance. So the placement of these thresholds really reflect cultural norms. In some cultures, you have very little room to express emotion. Then, in other cultures, you have lots of room to express emotion.
So the dual threshold of emotions is a handy tool to kind of talk about what we hide away, what do we suppress, what can we express and how can we express it in a manner that is found acceptable? And then, what is considered unacceptable, what is considered inappropriate?
Host: I know that your research also talks about the distinction between anger and aggression. Can you talk to us a little bit about what the distinction is? Anger is an internal feeling, right? Somebody did something we considered absolutely inappropriate. Host: Right, and so your research is making the case for a healthy way to express emotions at work but not aggression. Deanna: A healthy way to express anger without aggression. Anger is not aggression, and anger is an emotional response to a social norm violation.
So someone has done something that has offended you or hurt you or prevented you from doing what you want to do. Surprisingly, people equate anger with hostility and aggression and abuse. If you think that person is aggressive or hostile, you will stay away from them. You will make a wide berth, right? Deanna: Exactly. So let me give you a couple examples. If I disagree with what you say, that basically indicates [] to you that we have differences of opinion, so we could use the dual threshold model.
I could hide my opinion, feeling that if I tell you how I really feel, you will be unhappy with me or it might damage our relationship. Or I can cross that expression threshold and say, you know, that I have a different opinion and this is how I think about this but I really appreciate knowing how you feel about this as well. You cross that impropriety line. The interesting thing about the dual threshold model, too, is you as the speaker, as the person feeling any emotion, you set where that line is [] for the expression threshold.
So anger, in a weird way, is a form of voice. Host: As a manager you want to have people that can be honest with you because ultimately if that trust is there, they have your best interest at heart and the organizations best interest at heart.
Deanna: I agree with you on that, and there is one more strategy I typically recommend especially to women managers because, as I mentioned, there are different standards for [] women expressing, for instance, anger at work and men expressing anger at work—in the consequences for it.
This fact sheet provides a brief explanation of workplace harassment, how to recognize it, and both the responsibilities of an employee who has witnessed or been subjected to workplace harassment and the agency that has been put on notice of allegations of workplace harassment.
This kind of harassment is generally committed by someone who can effectively make or recommend formal employment decisions such as termination, demotion, or denial of promotion that will affect the victim. A hostile environment can result from the unwelcome conduct of supervisors, co-workers, customers, contractors, or anyone else with whom the victim interacts on the job, and the unwelcome conduct renders the workplace atmosphere intimidating, hostile, or offensive.
Whether an instance or a pattern of harassing conduct is severe or pervasive is determined on a case-by-case basis, with consideration paid to the following factors:. Each factor is considered, but none are required or dispositive.
Hostile work environment cases are often difficult to recognize, because the particular facts of each situation determine whether offensive conduct has crossed the line from "ordinary tribulations of the workplace, such as the sporadic use of abusive language Harassing Conduct Policy — The Department has determined that the most effective way to limit harassing conduct is to treat it as misconduct, even if it does not rise to the level of harassment actionable under the law.
The goal of this policy is to eliminate harassment before it becomes severe and pervasive enough to violate the law. Therefore, for the purposes of the Harassing Conduct Policy, harassing conduct is defined more broadly as "any unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on any characteristic protected by law when: 1 the behavior can reasonably be considered to adversely affect the work environment; or 2 an employment decision affecting the employee is based upon the employee's acceptance or rejection of such conduct.
