It aims to address the phenomenon of mobbing (psychological violence), an increasingly common problem in the workplace, with its conceptual and empirical dimensions. Mobbing is a process that systematically exposes people to psychological harassment and maltreatment, resulting in severe consequences for individuals and places. The study briefly examines the definition of mobbing, its types, psychological and physical effects on individuals, visible results, and prevention strategies.
The research, literature organization, qualitative analysis methods, dynamics, and effects of mobbing rates were analyzed in detail. The study reveals that mobbing causes psychological effects such as stress, anxiety, resilience, and burnout syndrome in individuals, as well as social consequences such as social isolation and intact family structure. At the organizational level, mobbing leads to a lack of employee commitment, increased separation episodes, loss of productivity, and deterioration in workplace spending.
What are the various strategies at an individual and accessible level to prevent and reduce the existence of mobbing? While providing a psychological support system, protecting legal rights, and continuously enhancing programs are recommended at the individual level, it is considered important to present mobbing complaint reports, provide an inclusive workplace culture, and provide training on this issue at the regulated level. The study emphasizes that mobbing is a multidimensional problem and is treated not only as an individual crisis but also as a problem of children's performance. In this context, effective maintenance of mobbing in workplaces is critical for ensuring a healthy working environment and comprehensive and long-term employee well-being
