This study, thus, investigates park enterprises located at the Southern Taiwan Science Park to examine the status of workplace violence as well as relevant preventive and handling mechanism with the goal of serving as a future relevance. A questionnaire survey, documentary and literature collection, and interviews were used in this study to derive the conclusion below: Younger and female works are more vulnerable to workplace violence. Moreover, those in the lower ranks are more often to suffer violence, especially employees who have been with the company for one to three years. Organizations have been found to fail to respond to physical violence and psychological violence in workplaces with active preventative and handling measures as well as adopt a passive punitive mechanism. Legal regulation helps to effectively call for the attention of sexual harassment in workplaces. This study suggests that in the future the government should enact labor laws to strengthen preventative and handling mechanisms for workplace violence, periodically investigate workplace violence cases, improve psychological support and care systems at workplaces, establish standards for corporate social responsibility and establish stricter standards for occupational incidents in order to build a friendly working environment with “zero violence.”
