ABSTRACT
This study will first present some descriptive information about mobbing, and then provide an assessment of municipal employees’ top to bottom mobbing practices in the workplace. Views of both subordinates and their superiors in administrative positions on mobbing are analyzed. Including both parties of the mobbing behavior is important for the scope and consistency of the research. A total of 322 employees, 54 of which are in administrative positions were reached and asked to fill in the “Scale of Psychological Mobbing at Work”. 17.5% of the participants (47 people) expressed that they suffer from mobbing in the workplace. 20.4% of the superiors (11 people) expressed that employees suffer from mobbing. Victims of mobbing are generally expected to quit the institution (resignation, transfer, etc.). 31.2% (83 people) of the employees who participated in the study said they want to quit their jobs. Among those who described themselves as victims of mobbing, the number of those who want to quit is 21. However, only 10 participants expressed their intention of quitting is caused by mobbing. In addition to this, 15 people who mentioned they have been mobbed think that this is a routine and ordinary workplace behavior.
