In today’s workplace, psychological harassment, also known as mobbing, has become an increasingly prevalent issue. Mobbing refers to a situation where an individual is subjected to persistent unjust or discriminatory behavior. Such behaviors can negatively affect the psychological and physical health of the employee and may also impact their job performance. So, what behaviors constitute mobbing, and how can one deal with it? Here is a guide prepared by Cakmak Law and Consultancy to help you understand.
Signs of Mobbing
Mobbing typically manifests itself through specific behaviors in workplace relationships. These behaviors may include constant criticism, ridicule, belittlement, verbal or physical abuse, ostracism, spreading rumors, among others. Individuals experiencing mobbing often suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, and their work performance is negatively affected.
The Legal Dimension of Mobbing
Mobbing is not just a psychological issue; it is also a legal problem. In cases of mobbing in the workplace, the victim has legal rights. In Turkey, mobbing is addressed according to the definition and provisions of mobbing specified in labor law. If a victim can prove that they have been subjected to mobbing, they can take legal action against the employer or the individual responsible for the mobbing and seek compensation.
Dealing with Mobbing: Legal and Psychological Support
The first step in dealing with mobbing is to acknowledge the situation and seek support. Individuals experiencing mobbing should communicate with their employers and clearly express the situation. Additionally, seeking psychological support is crucial. Since mobbing often negatively affects the victim’s psychology, seeking psychological support can help strengthen emotionally and cope with the situation.
