Experience and survive mobbing in the workplace

Mobing je postal neizbežna tema našega vsakdana (pogovori, časopisi, TV, internet). Širi se kot virus, ki se je zavlekel v vse pore našega življenja. Uporaba izraza mobing je posledica Leymannove asociacije na živalski svet. Z istim izrazom je Konrad Lorenz že leta 1966 opisal napad skupine živali na vsiljivca. Ogroženost skupine namreč izzove nalezljiv impulz, da morajo vsiljivca napasti in uničiti. Mobing ima pogubne posledice na celotno družbo. Lahko povzroči višje stroške zdravljenja in večjo potrebo po socialnih storitvah in podpori, vpliva na stopnjo brezposelnosti, na medsebojne odnose izven delovnega okolja in stroške pravnih postopkov. V teoretičnem delu predstavljam problem mobinga in njegovih posledic na zaposlene in širše, navajam tudi izsledke iz že opravljenih raziskav. V empiričnem delu ugotavljam, kako mobing vpliva na žrtve, ki so mu izpostavljene, kakšen vpliv ima mobing na družinske odnose, kakšne so reakcije oseb, ki mobing doživljajo in ali žrtve poiščejo strokovno pomoč in kje. Namen moje magistrske naloge je širši javnosti predstaviti problematiko mobinga, kako reagirati v dani situaciji in kje poiskati pomoč.Mobbing has become an inevitable topic of our everyday life in conversations, newspapers, on TV and internet. It spreads like a virus that has come into every pore of our lives. The use of the term mobbing is consequence of Leymann’s association with the animal world. With the same term Konrad Lorenz in 1966 described the attack of a group of animals on an intruder. Endangerment of the group provokes an impulse of attacking and destroying the intruder. Mobbing has devastating consequences for whole society. It can lead to higher treatment costs and a greater need for social services and support, it affects the treatment costs, bigger need for social services and social support. In the theoretical part I describe the problem of mobbing and its consequences on employees and beyond, I also cite the results of multiple previous researches. In the empirical part I find out, how mobbing affects victims who are exposed to it, what impact mobbing has on family relationships, what are the reactions of people who experience mobbing and whether victims seek professional help and where. The purpose of my master\u27s thesis is present to the public the issue of mobbing, how to react in a given situation and where to seek help
