Through SEM-mediation analysis, the direct effect of organizational tolerance on mobbing is confirmed, which can explain up to 20 % of the variance in NAQ scale, as well as the variables, level of studies and genre. Equally, the effect of mobbing on health is confirmed. The proposed model explains 25 % of the variance in self-report of health. It is remarkable the high incidence of mobbing in this sample.
