| Abstract |
Bullying at the place of work consists of acts carried out by a person or group of persons, psychologically targetting a specific individual. It is characterized by the repeated nature, frequency and regularity of the hostile acts, while the "mobbing" process is defined by the magnitude of the health effects and prejudice suffered. The purpose of this publication is to describe the consequences of such acts, and to help employers understand their seriousness and thus avoid their occurrence. |
