Abstract: | In this study, examined are the effects of workplace offenders' (henceforth as: offdrs.) characteristics and offense-type on victims' reactions. Responses from over 350 employed graduate students in the U.S. and South Korea to a hypothetical offense incident uncovered the employees from the U.S. and Korea to differ in their expressed desirability of avoiding, seeking revenge against, and reconciling with an offending co-worker depending on the offdrs.' (dis-)similarity to the victim and on the type of offense. As expected, Koreans (but not U.S. Americans) were more likely to avoid and to seek revenge on a co-worker. In addition, Koreans were most motivated to reconcile when an offensive remark came from a similar rather than dissimilar co-worker and when the offense targeted them personally etc. |
