“…IPV victims often disclose to their coworkers and supervisors and seek specific emotional and instrumental support at work (MacGregor, Wathen, Olszowy, Saxton, & MacQuarrie, 2016;Swanberg & Logan, 2005). Employees would benefit from information and training so that they are effectively able to respond to these disclosures (Kulkarni & Ross, 2016;MacGregor et al, 2016). In addition to employee training, workplaces can create specific IPV policies and protocols (e.g., flexible leave-time and employer assistance), account for privacy and confidentiality, and increase the availability of information and resources (Glass, Hanson, Laharnar, Anger, & Perrin, 2016).…”

Workplace interventions represent important opportunities to increase awareness of and adherence to disease prevention and health promotion initiatives. However, research on workplace interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) has not been systematically evaluated. This systematic review summarizes existing studies evaluating workplace interventions for IPV. PubMed, PsycINFO, Business Source Complete, Web of Science, and Social Services Abstracts were systematically searched for English-language studies published before November 2017. Six studies evaluating five interventions were included. Only one study used a randomized design, and only two studies measured whether outcomes were sustained over time. None of the interventions addressed perpetrators of IPV. Interventions focused on recognizing signs of abuse, responding to victims, and providing referrals to community-based resources. Methodological rigor of included studies varied, but all reported at least one intervention-related benefit. Findings included improved awareness of IPV, increased provision of information to victims, and greater willingness to intervene if an employee may be experiencing IPV.

These studies, however, are often either qualitative or, if quantitative, highlight variable relationships and do not offer in-depth descriptive explorations of the disclosure process from the survivors’ perspectives.…”

“…Beyond examining reactions themselves, many researchers have attempted to understand more about the disclosure process by surveying survivors on their perceived “helpfulness” of disclosure to INMs. These studies tend to present the prevalence of whether survivors consider these recipients to be helpful and to separate out types of disclosure recipients (i.e., informal are kept separate from formal agents) when doing so (Douglas & Hines, 2011; Fanslow & Robinson, 2010; Kulkarni & Ross, 2016; Renzetti, 1988). Exceptions to this are Fleming and Resick (2016) and Shannon et al (2006), but they do not reveal for what the disclosure and/or reactions to disclosure were helpful.…”

Female Intimate Partner Violence Survivors’ Experiences With Disclosure to Informal Network Members

With the growing recognition of the importance of disclosure to informal network members (INMs) in shaping experiences for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), numerous quantitative studies have examined these processes, but have not provided detailed descriptive analyses of the disclosure process. Yet, these descriptive data can be a rich contribution in their own right given the dearth of knowledge about IPV disclosure. This article presents in-depth descriptive data on a Mid-Atlantic metropolitan area sample of 200 female IPV survivors' experiences with disclosure to their INMs (collected using a one-time, online survey). Most survivors (66%) disclosed to at least one INM during their initial violent relationship. The three most commonly experienced reactions to disclosure were INMs listening to the survivors' feelings, urging the survivors to talk about how they felt, and expressing that the violent partners' behaviors were problematic. The three least commonly experienced reactions were INMs blaming survivors or saying that they deserved to be treated that way, offering financial assistance, and telling them to stop talking about the incident(s). Among survivors who

“…There also is a notion that disclosure can mediate between WIPA victimization and work-related outcomes. Because disclosure activates formal (e.g., accommodations and security measures) and informal (e.g., listening) support systems (Kulkarni & Ross, 2016), it can result in better work outcomes for victims who disclose. Still, these studies also reveal that disclosure is a complex phenomenon hindered by shame , stigmatized identities (Conroy et al, 2012), fear of career consequences (Deen et al, 2019), and lack of trust (Swanberg & Macke, 2006)…”

Intimate partner aggression and work: An interdisciplinary review and agenda for future research

Intimate partner aggression (IPA) is a social issue that affects the workplace. While IPA has been relatively ignored by management scholars due to notions that it is a private domestic matter, recent research offers mounting evidence of its spillover effects at work, including consequences for victims, perpetrators, coworkers, and organizations. To date, scholarly research on IPA and work has been impeded because existing research is scattered across disciplines with differing conceptualizations and emphasis. This integrative review aims to clarify the constructs of IPA and work-related IPA (WIPA), summarize existing IPA and work research, integrate prior studies to offer a nomological network of antecedents and consequences of IPA victimization and perpetration, and propose specific recommendations that can further stimulate scholarly attention on this important research area.
