Can work-unit social capital buffer the association between workplace violence and long-term sickness absence? A prospective cohort study of healthcare employees

ConclusionThere was a prospective association between workplace violence and LTSA, but work-unit social capital did not buffer this effect. Furthermore, the results revealed an inverse association between work-unit social capital and workplace violence. The findings indicate that   in order to effectively reduce LTSA, preventive interventions need to both prevent workplace violence and strengthen social capital.
