When Is Employee Retaliation Acceptable at Work? Evidence from QuasiExperiments

INDU Pu When is employee retaliation acceptable in the workplace? We use a quasi-experimental design to study the acceptability of several forms of retaliatory behavior at work, gathering data in this untested area. Consistent with hypotheses from theories of fairness, we find that employee retaliation in the workplace is perceived to be more acceptable if it is an act of omission instead of an...

Aluminium at terapascal pressures.

Studying materials at terapascal (TPa) pressures will provide insights into the deep interiors of large planets and chemistry under extreme conditions. The equation of state of aluminium is of interest because it is used as a standard material in shock-wave experiments and because it is a typical sp-bonded metal. Here we use density-functional-theory methods and a random-searching approach to p...
