Abstract

Background: Domestic violence, an expression of gender inequality that permeates both private and public spheres, has significant repercussions on family and organizational environments. Experiences related to violence can cause psychological distress, compromising concentration and decision-making abilities, which are essential for any professional activity. Objective: This study aimed to systematize the literature on the role of organizations in addressing domestic violence, integrating empirical evidence into a theoretical framework and a research agenda. Method: Initially, a bibliometric review was conducted using the Scopus database with the support of VOSviewer software. Subsequently, based on the 4W’s model, a systematic literature review was carried out through the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results: A growing trend in scholarly production on the topic has been identified in recent years, particularly in international publications, with emphasis on the multidimensional impacts of domestic violence on workers’ well-being and occupational performance, including physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms. Conclusions: The findings highlight the urgency of proactive organizational measures and the implementation of targeted policies to address domestic violence, underscoring the workplace as a critical setting for social support and assistance to victims. This analysis contributes to developing a theoretical framework and a research agenda focused on the effectiveness of corporate actions against domestic violence.
