Mobbing and Its Effects on Employee Commitment in the Workplace

Abstract

The concept of mobbing in the workplace refers to a situation where an individual is subjected to consistent negative behaviors by one or multiple individuals over a certain period of time. This phenomenon can have severe impacts on the targeted individual, affecting both their well-being and performance. When analyzing the related literature, it becomes clear that there is a limited number of studies specifically addressing the relationship between mobbing and organizational commitment. Given this gap in research, the primary objective of this study is to examine whether there is a significant relationship between mobbing in the workplace and employees' organizational commitment. Understanding this connection could provide valuable insights into how negative workplace behaviors influence an employee's attachment and dedication to the organization, and how these factors may contribute to reduced job satisfaction, increased turnover intention, or decreased overall performance.
