Mobbing: Harassment at work

Mobbing or harassment at work is a subject of great importance for many reasons, among them the legal right that is violated when it occurs and also because it is a new, debatable and susceptible subject that can be analysed from different points of view. By means of mobbing, the personality is affected in its spiritual aspect, it has repercussions on inter-work relations and the personal rights of the workers. This derivation of workplace violence is increasingly affecting more and more people who are trying to find answers in a legal system that for the time being only offers protection alternatives, as Marina Parés Soliva, 2008, states. The aim of this work is to find out the causes and conceptual meaning of this phenomenon at work, to detect the profiles of both the harasser and the harassed, and to find out their language as a tool for detecting it.
