Abstract
This study seeks to create a framework for understanding dysfunctional peer coworker relationships. While relationships are becoming increasingly recognized for their impact on employee satisfaction, retention, and performance, little work has been done in examining dysfunctional coworker relationships. Specifically, this study examines the understanding that individuals have for why a peer coworker relationship is dysfunctional, how the dysfunctional relationship inhibits progress towards work goals, and the strategies employed by coworkers to mitigate the relationship's effect on their work goals.
