TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT AS A RESULT OF VIOLATION OF FACTORS OF CORPORATE WELL-BEING OF STAFF

Abstract

This article examines the issue of toxic work environments as a consequence of the disruption of corporate well-being factors. The study analyzes the impact of modern socio-economic challenges on employees' emotional well-being, including labor market globalization, job instability, and the transformation of work values. The research is based on an original survey, which assesses five key aspects of corporate well-being: organizational culture and interpersonal relationships, compensation packages and financial incentives, professional development and self-realization, psycho-emotional state and stress levels, and life-work balance. The survey results indicate that while most respondents positively evaluate their corporate well-being, a moderate level of satisfaction with psycho-emotional state and stress management suggests the presence of significant workplace challenges. The study identifies key markers of a toxic work environment, such as high-stress levels, emotional exhaustion, manipulation, passive-aggressive communication, low levels of trust, and a lack of work-life balance. Additionally, the research highlights the crucial role of leadership styles in shaping corporate well-being. It underscores that effective leadership, coaching approaches, and a culture of trust can significantly reduce workplace toxicity. The article suggests practical strategies for mitigating negative factors, including improved internal communication, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and implementing transparent motivation mechanisms. The findings confirm that creating a healthy corporate environment is a strategic necessity for increasing employee productivity, reducing workplace conflicts, and retaining top talent. The study emphasizes the importance of a supportive work culture where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated. By addressing toxic workplace factors, organizations can foster sustainable growth, innovation, and long-term success.
