MOBBING - INDIVIDUAL OR SOCIAL PROBLEM?

Summary/Abstract: Even though workplace bullying isn't a novelty, mobbing, as a phenomenon, started to be a subject of research just a few decades ago. On the one hand, it was expected for mobbing to be more seriously and sistematically approached problem in the last decades since the 21st century is characterized by fights for human rights. Likewise, workers's rights demand stronger representation. On the other hand, the beginning of the new century was marked by globalization, rapid development of technology, modernization and privatization, all contributing to economic crisis and great competitiveness on the labor market.These social changes put jobs at risk and workers under preassure which lead to the emergence of widespread mobbing. Psychological abuse at a workplace is the „silent plague“ of the modern world, both in developed and in Bosnian-Herzegovinian society. Considering that in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are no statistical data on the presence of mobbing, its victims, nor any programs that would prevent the psychological abuse at a workplace, the goal of this paper is to study an individual's awareness of the harmful effects of mobbing on the health of people, on the organisation where it all takes place and on the society as a whole. By conducting a survey, it was intended to gain insights into the level of awareness of the Bosnian public about mobbing as one of the fundamental problems of today's society. Results of this research pointed to the widespread mobbing in Bosnian-Herzegovinian organisations and to the insufficient awareness of the consequences of mobbing and the insufficient knowledge of the labor legal rights.
