Retired postal employee Stephen D. Musacco, Ph.D. offers an insider's perspective on postal service practices in Beyond Going Postal

SANTEE, Calif. (MMD Newswire) March 25, 2009 -- Beyond Going Postal: Shifting from Workplace Tragedies and Toxic Work Environments to a Safe and Healthy Organization by Stephen D. Musacco, Ph.D. is an analysis of the general culture of the U.S. Postal Service, concentrating on workplace violence.

Hoping to spur the Postal Service to take dramatic steps to modify its organizational values, Musacco presents evidence from numerous sources in an effort to demonstrate to readers that toxic work environments, stemming from a harsh and authoritarian postal culture, exist within the postal service. He also discusses how those environments contribute to violent incidences within its workplaces as well as negatively impact the health and well-being of its employees.

After years of working within the service, Musacco says it is time for a change. "It became my mission to examine the lack of accountability in the context of workplace violence in the postal service and its culture, and accordingly, it also became necessary to point out how the postal service could shift from an unsafe and unhealthy organization to a safe and healthy one." He offers a detailed blueprint regarding what he believes is required of the postal service and the Congress to make this shift.

Musacco's ultimate goal is to provide top postal management and congressional leaders with recommendations that will serve to make the postal service a better organization for its employees. Written with postal rank and file, union, management and government leaders in mind, Beyond Going Postal attempts to signal an undeniable call to action.
