Sources of mobbing and bulling definition in national juridical science.

Abstract

The article examines the existing doctrinal defini-
tions of mobbing and bulling. It is noted that the studies
of Ukrainian scientists regarding the definition and char-
acteristics of these phenomena are mainly based on for-
eign experience. Bullying is characterized as deliberate,
not self-protective, and not subject to the statutory acts
of the State of prolonged (repeated) physical or psycho-
logical abuse by an individual or group that has certain
advantages (physical, psychological, administrative, etc.)
over another an individual that occurs predominantly in
organized groups for a specific personal purpose (for ex-
ample, the desire to earn the authority of peers). It was
noted that bullying does not include criminal activities
that started as a conflict and developed, serious physical
violence, threats of such violence, attacks.
Mobbing at the service team is intended to understand
the collective psychological terror, harassment of any em-
ployee by his or her colleagues, subordinates, or superi-
ors, in order to get the employee to leave the workplace
or to diminish his or her social or professional influence
in the team. Depending on the level of management in the
overall hierarchy of the enterprise, workplace harassment
is divided into vertical and horizontal. It is emphasized
that horizontal mobility is the most widespread, which
is psychological persecution within a separate structural
unit among employees and characterized by a malicious
attitude towards an employee, group of colleagues or
managers. The causes of this mobbing are envy, boredom,
professional ambition, low self-esteem, low moral stand-
ards, asocial lifestyle, other political and social views.
It is emphasized that vertical mobbing has a linear orien-
tation of psychological terror from the head, the employer
in relation to the subordinate (bossing). As a conclusion,
it is pointed out the importance of normative consolida-
tion of the analyzed phenomena in order to increase the
effectiveness of combating them.
