Description
Summary:In this paper we intend to research two aspects at work, mobbing and bullying. The both aspects are negative and they have negative consequences on safe and health at work. The persons confronting such problems may no longer perform daily tasks and come, sooner or later, to resign. After leaving their jobs it is very probable for these persons to suffer a posttraumatic stress. So, these issues must be deeply analyzed in order to found methods of prevention. As an employee, the ideal situation is to have a safe and healthy workplace. The employers have to create and maintain it. A safety and health management system that managers could adopt is necessary for improving the work environment. This system, that is unique for every organization, has to contain rules, principles, generally what the people in the organization have to do to prevent injuries and illnesses at workplace. A safety and health management system differ a lot from one organization to another and that depends mainly on the dimension of the firm and especially on the level of hazardous. The most important thing is the system to work for a certain organization, no matter how simple or complicated it is, to be put into practice and the result to be a safe and healthy workplace. From theoretical point of view we have defined these concepts, finding the difference between mobbing and bullying. The terms mobbing and bullying are very similar, both referring to the perpetual psychological violence committed at the workplace. While the term “mobbing” refers to psychological aggression that comes from the colleagues, the term “bullying” refers to the same issue, but this time psychological aggression that comes from a person with a higher position. We also pointed out the effects of these two negative phenomena on the victim and the most common tactics adopted by bullies. We studied these theoretical aspects in practice as well. We chose investigation as a research method. 100 first-line and middle managers from Bihor County were questioned related to mobbing and bullying issues. Our objective was to find out to what extent they confront with these negative aspects and how they deal with them.
