How to leave Healthy in a toxic environment
INTRODUCTION
Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism, environment, food, water. therefore a toxic environment is a geographical area of land polluted or infected by dangerous nor harmful chemicals etc. This is marked by significant infighting, where personal battles often harm productivity. Toxic environments are often considered the result of toxic employers and/or toxic employees who are motivated by personal gain (power, money, fame, or special status), use unethical, mean-spirited, and sometimes illegal means to manipulate and annoy those around them; and whose motives are to maintain or increase power, money or special status or divert attention away from their performance shortfalls and misdeeds. Toxic workers do not recognize a duty to the organization for which they work or their co-workers in terms of ethics or professional conduct toward others. Toxic workers define relationships with co-workers, not by organizational structure but by co-workers they favor and those they do not like or trust. Quite similarly, Harder et al. (2014) define a toxic work environment as an environment that negatively impacts the viability of an organization. They specify: “It is reasonable to conclude that an organization can be considered toxic if it is ineffective as well as destructive to its employees”. In, Nigeria today the issue of toxic environment bullying is getting increasing attention from state governments; twenty-six states have introduced a version of the Healthy toxic environment Bill which provides a definition of this conduct and support for employers to address the behavior through discipline. Studies by National Occupational Safety and Health found toxic workplace/environments a leading cause of workplace violence such as “violent acts, including physical assaults and threats of assault, directed toward persons at work or on duty.” Studies on this issue include verbal violence (threats, verbal abuse, hostility, harassment, and the like) can cause significant psychological trauma and stress, even if no physical injury takes place. Verbal assaults and hostility can also escalate to physical violence.
