Economic Implications of Violence and Discrimination in Public AdministrationAbstract:Recent developments in European law have heightened the need to reinvent our approach on workplace violence in the public service. Despite the recent concern in the Romanian law, the subject is rarely referred to, due to the lack of awareness of concepts such as the of violence and discrimination in the workplace, compared to their position in the European space. This paper traces the legal and sociological evolution of social reality as it is reflected in the Romanian legislation on public service and previous practice, with the intention to identify some links between these interdisciplinary approaches. We also want to stress the issues of social responsibility of the employer to the conditions of work affecting the principle of dignity and non-discrimination, and finally, apply preventive and corrective measures. We will attempt to analyze whether the difference between people’s perception of violence as a reality and the low number of complaints before the courts is caused by the lack of visibility provisions prohibiting harassment. Our work will also explore how the customized configuration of workplace violence is a reflection of the work environment, as perceived by public officials after successive reforms adopted by the Romanian authorities
