From the author: Most research on workplace sabotage centers on the causes of sabotage and the ways that organizations can guard against it. This paper accepts the premise that sabotage will occur in the workplace and thus presents a forecasting procedure for organizations to follow. Once organizations can learn how to predict a Sabotage Impact Value and to gauge a Probability Index Factor, it can improve its readiness for a sabotage event. This development of a Sabotage Barometer can help HRM professionals and managers formulate sabotage intervention plans. The findings indicate that organizations using intervention plans reported substantially shorter crisis durations, less fallout to the company, and a quicker path to the resolution stage.
