Interpersonal bonds developed in the workplace that render relationships stable and productive, or unstable and reactive, based on the type and quality of relational experiences. “Attachment” is a well-known theory in psychology that refers to the relational imprints formed in one’s early years that continue to influence most, if not all, subsequent relationships. Specific attachment styles form as a result of these early interactions, and we carry these relational patterns with us into the workplace.
