ESSAY ON: Managing Employees Suffering From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Number of Pages 16

This research paper: A 16 page paper discussing some of the problems that a workplace manager may face when an employee is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The paper reviews PTSD, how it can affect individuals and the difficulty in dealing with it. Commonly associated with wartime experiences, PTSD also can arise from workplace incidents, natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and traumatic events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The manager dealing with employees suffering from PTSD can use situational leadership or contingency theory to create a framework within which to manage the PTSD sufferer. Employing either of these theories and operating within them enables the manager to create a win-win scenario in which the individual gains help, support and validation, while the organization gains real value from the employee's contributions. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
