Introduction

Studies have shown that individuals’ attitudes toward workplace romance are positively associated with their participation in it (Aguinis, 2003). It is also believed that individuals with experience in workplace romance tend to engage more in risky, rebellious, sensation-seeking behaviour and are more prone to boredom. This research thereby aims to examine the relations between workplace romance and individuals’ behaviours.
