Work-Related Intimate Partner Violence (WIPV): A Systematic Review and Feminist Conceptual Analysis
A recent paper published in Human Resource Management (HRM) examined what we know, what we don't know, and what we should know about how work-related intimate partner violence (WIPV) influences women who are victims of this violence. Based on a systematic review and conceptual analysis of the literature comprising of 111 WIPV-focused papers, and using three well-established feminist lenses, the paper developed a gender-sensitive, multilevel framework that extends debate about WIPV beyond the current focus of human resource management (HRM) research and practice on individual employment issues to include organisational and societal issues. The study frames WIPV as a distinct pattern of IPV behaviours that originates with IPV and at home, but which directly and indirectly impacts the workplace with a very specific work-focused pattern that is a form of workplace violence, not just a personal issue with spillover effects. The study thus lays out a future research agenda that challenges and expands the concept of WIPV and positions it as a profound opportunity for organisations and HRM to have personal and social impacts.
