What the paper says

Nonviolent workplace behavior has garnered the attention of management scholars and practitioners, but only a handful of studies have probed the antecedent and various factors associated with nonviolent workplace behavior. We use Lazarus and Folkman’s Transactional Stress Model to investigate the relationship between psychological capital (PC) and nonviolent workplace behavior. Subsequently, this study also examines how childhood abuse and resistance to self-compassion moderate this relationship. We employ ordinary least square (OLS)-based analysis on a sample of 262 Indian employees across various sectors to test our proposed hypotheses. Our empirical findings suggest that PC consistently and positively impacts nonviolent workplace behavior. Additionally, we also note that childhood abuse experiences and fear of self-compassion moderate the relationship between nonviolent workplace behavior and PC. Our study highlights the importance of addressing early life experiences and offering professional counseling for employees with abusive backgrounds.
