Abstract

In this paper, we link every police report in Finland to administrative data to identify violence between colleagues, and the economic consequences for victims, perpetrators, and firms. This new approach to observe when one colleague attacks another overcomes previous data constraints limiting evidence on this phenomenon to self-reported surveys that do not identify perpetrators. We document large, persistent labor market impacts of between-colleague violence on victims and perpetrators. Male perpetrators experience substantially weaker consequences after attacking female colleagues. Perpetrators’ relative economic power in male-female violence partly explains this asymmetry. Turning to broader implications for firm recruitment and retention, we find that male-female violence causes a decline in the proportion of women at the firm, both because fewer new women are hired and current female employees leave. Management plays a key role in mediating the impacts on the wider workforce. Only male-managed firms lose women. Female-managed firms exhibit a key difference relative to male-managed firms: male perpetrators are less likely to remain employed after attacking their female colleagues.

工作中对妇女的暴力
在本文中,我们将芬兰的每一份警察报告与行政数据联系起来,以确定同事之间的暴力行为,以及受害者、肇事者和公司的经济后果。这种观察同事攻击他人的新方法克服了以往的数据限制,将这一现象的证据局限于无法识别肇事者的自我报告调查。我们记录了同事间暴力对受害者和施暴者的巨大、持续的劳动力市场影响。男性行凶者在攻击女性同事后所受到的影响要小得多。施暴者在男女暴力中的相对经济实力部分解释了这种不对称。转向对公司招聘和保留更广泛的影响,我们发现男女暴力导致公司女性比例下降,这既是因为新雇佣的女性减少了,也是因为现有的女性员工离开了。管理层在调节对更广泛劳动力的影响方面发挥着关键作用。只有男性管理的公司才会失去女性。与男性管理的公司相比,女性管理的公司表现出一个关键的区别:男性行凶者在攻击女同事后不太可能继续被雇佣。
