VERHOEF, Hendrika y TERBLANCHE, Lourie. The effect of dissolved workplace romances on the psychosocial functioning and productivity of the employees involved. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2015, vol.51, n.2, pp.287-310. ISSN 2312-7198. http://dx.doi.org/51-1-448.
This paper reports on research that explored the effects of dissolved romances on the psychosocial functioning and productivity of the employees involved at an industrial clothing factory in Cape Town in 2012-2013. Also explored is the consequent need for appropriate intervention through the existing Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). A qualitative research approach is applied. The main conclusion confirms the overall negative effect of the breakdown of workplace romances on the psychosocial functioning and productivity of the employees involved in the workplace and gives an indication of how the EAP could most effectively respond to this phenomenon. Mediation as a possible strategy is recommended to deal with workplace romances.
