  ABSTRACT: Organizational and societal factors are generally put forward to explain violence and harassment at workplace. This article attempts to explore new avenues for explaining violence and harassment at workplace by emphasizing the role of the actor and the strategies that he can build for his benefit in the organization. The text is based on a literature review and a field survey carried out with 22 actors, including sixteen (16) at the institutional level (Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), Government Services (SG), trade union organizations (TUO) and six (6) workers in the formal sector. The article concludes that violence and harassment come from an actor’s strategy. The aggressiveness that is its expression constitutes a resource for controlling and obtaining from others what the actor needs. Violence and harassment are only ways of expressing this aggressiveness.
