The book provides a systematic investigation into workplace bullying, the phenomenon known as mobbing. Work, a crucial factor for achieving full social integration of the individual, is under threat due to the expansion of precarious forms of employment, the erosion of labor rights, and the intensification of unemployment during a prolonged period of economic crisis and broader socio-economic changes, resulting in an upsurge of systematic negative behaviors and attitudes in the workplace.

The book addresses the causes that drive the phenomenon of mobbing in workplaces, the stages of escalation of the phenomenon, its forms of manifestation, the characteristics of the perpetrator and the victim (sometimes plural), the devastating consequences it has for victims, their families, as well as for the businesses/organizations themselves, the institutional protective framework, and the methods of prevention and intervention.

This work thoroughly informs the reader and provides the necessary information to discern a bullying work environment and the problematic behaviors that compose it, to be aware of the rights of mobbing victims, and the appropriate ways of acting and reacting to address and prevent the phenomenon at both institutional and individual levels. It is addressed to employees, employers, state authorities, and of course to young people, students, and every active citizen.
