At the present stage of societal development, the social phenomena and processes that used to be considered undesirable, negative, and even obscene as recently as in the last century are, ...unfortunately, becoming increasingly widespread. Mobbing, which implies psychological harassment of individual members of the workforce, undoubtedly must be recognized as one of such phenomena. Mobbing has reached such a great scale in many countries of the world that it can no longer be ignored. Meanwhile, it has to be admitted that society has not yet developed a universal view of mobbing as a purely adverse phenomenon or process. In this regard, studies aimed at the quantitative assessment and statistical evaluation of the main parameters of mobbing at a time when applied science is clearly and noticeably lagging behind the actual needs of society are of great scientific and applied interest. As a result, there is still no logically justified system of indicators of mobbing, which would allow its comprehensive characterization, as well as answering complex questions about the actual position and role of such a social phenomenon. The study analyzes the specific features of a quantitative assessment of mobbing, explores the possible approaches to creating a system of mobbing indicators, and provides proposals for the systematization of mobbing indicators allowing to assess not only the scale but also the socio-economic consequences of mobbing.
En la etapa actual de desarrollo de la sociedad, los fenómenos y procesos sociales que solían considerarse indeseables, negativos e incluso obscenos en fechas tan recientes como el siglo pasado, están cada vez más extendidos. El mobbing, que implica el acoso psicológico de empleados, debe reconocerse sin duda como uno de esos fenómenos. El mobbing ha alcanzado tal magnitud en muchos países del mundo que ya no puede ser ignorado. Mientras tanto, hay que admitir que la sociedad aún no ha desarrollado una visión universal del mobbing como un fenómeno o proceso puramente adverso. En este sentido, los estudios destinados a la evaluación cuantitativa y estadística de los principales parámetros del mobbing, en un momento en que la ciencia aplicada está clara y notablemente retrasada con respecto a las necesidades reales de la sociedad, son de gran interés científico y aplicado. En consecuencia, todavía no existe un sistema de indicadores de mobbing lógicamente justificado, que permita su caracterización integral, así como responder a preguntas complejas sobre la posición y el papel real de dicho fenómeno social. El estudio analiza las características específicas de una evaluación cuantitativa del mobbing, explora los posibles enfoques para la creación de un sistema de indicadores de mobbing y ofrece propuestas para la sistematización de indicadores de mobbing que permitan evaluar no sólo la escala sino también las consecuencias socioeconómicas del mobbing.

•We analyse the effects of communication and incremental incentives on an anti-social coordination problem.•This coordination problem resembles bullying or mobbing behaviour.•We find that ...communication does decrease the willingsness to build a mob but this effect vanishes with incremental personal benefits that arise from mobbing.
Mobbing causes severe damages to the victims and is a prime example of antisocial coordination. Using the ‘mobbing game’ by Abbink and Doğan (2019), we investigate the role of communication and incremental incentives on mobbing in a laboratory experiment. Doing so, we vary the degree of strategic vs. social communication on the one hand and the pecuniary incentives of repeatedly bullying a certain victim on the other hand. Results indicate that incremental incentives increase nomination rates (i.e., attempts to mob another player) and mobbing rates (i.e., successful group coordination to reduce payoffs of one player). In contrast, communication decreases nomination rates without having significant effect on mobbing rates. Further, communication analysis indicates our approach to eliminate strategic communication was successful and can be applied in other setups.
Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers, ...particularly in the form of coercion, intimidation, discrimination, unfavorable or unjust treatment. This potential of relation to EU antidiscrimination legislation is not entirely clear. The current limited judicial practice from the Czech Republic still lacks clear answers. The aim of this paper is to assess and analyze the relationship between EU legislation on whistleblower protection and anti-discrimination legislation.

Traditional conceptualizations of aggression distinguish between reactive (e.g., rage) and proactive (e.g., reward) functions of aggression. However, critiques of this dichotomy have pointed out ...these models conflate motivational valence and self-control. Addressing this weakness, recent conceptualizations consider four types of aggression: rage, revenge, reward, and recreation aggression. The goal of the present study was to investigate contextual differences in the distribution of the four types of aggression as drivers of offline and cyberbullying among self-reported aggressors. A total of 839 participants (♀ = 70.26%; Mage = 23.41, SD = 9.21) answered questionnaires regarding their offline and cyberbullying behavior. If participants indicated that they had engaged in bullying behavior within the last two months, they had to specify why they had engaged in this behavior. Controlling for gender, age and the level of offline and cyberbullying, mixed effects logistic regression analyses revealed that cyberbullying was more likely to result from recreation aggression than offline bullying, whereas offline bullying was more likely to result from reward, rage, and revenge aggression than cyberbullying. In summary, the present study uncovers differences in the underlying aggression between offline and cyberbullying, thus providing information for environment-specific prevention and intervention programs.
•A fine-grained typology of aggression was used to compare the underlying motives in offline and cyberbullying.•Recreation motives are more likely in cyberbullying compared to offline bullying.•Rage, revenge and reward motives are more likely in offline bullying compared to cyberbullying.
Mobbing, kişilerin etrafında, kişiliğine bağlı olarak tek veya fazla sayıda taraftar toplayarak zarar verilmek istenen kimseye baskı kurması, dalga geçmesi, çalıştığı işyerinde saygınlığını ...zedeleyecek girişimlerde bulunarak işi terk etmeye zorlaması şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Bu tür ruhsal saldırılar duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarı hissinde azalma şeklinde kişilerde tükenmişliğe neden olabilmektedir. Mobbing davranışlarının hastane personeli üzerinde tükenmişliğe ne derece etkili olduğunu amaç edinen çalışmada bir kamu üniversitesi hastanesi çalışanlarına doğrudan uygulanan anket yöntemiyle veriler elde edilmiş ve SPSS 22.0 yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Korelasyon analizinde, mobbing davranışları ile çalışanların tükenmişliği arasında pozitif yönlü güçlü, istatistiksel bakımdan anlamlı ilişki olduğu ve doğrusal regresyon analizi ile mobbing davranışı ortalamasındaki bir puanlık artış tükenmişlik düzeyini 0,57 puan arttırmaktadır. Tek yönlü anova testine göre, öğrenim düzeyi değişkeninin bireylerin kişisel başarı hissinde azalma ortalamalarını istatistiksel olarak etkilediği; t testi ile medeni durum değişkeninin bireylerin duygusal tükenme ortalamaları ile kişisel başarı hissinde azalma ortalamalarını istatistiksel olarak etkilemediği tespit edilmiştir.
Mobbing can be defined as putting pressure on the person who wants to be harmed by gathering a single or more supporters around people, depending on their personality, making fun of them, and forcing them to leave their job by making attempts to damage their reputation in the workplace. Such mental attacks can cause burnout in individuals in the form of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a decrease in personal accomplishment. In the study aiming to what extent mobbing behaviors are effective on burnout on hospital staff, data have been obtained with a questionnaire method applied directly to a public university hospital staff and analyzed with the help of SPSS 22.0. In correlation analysis, there is a positive strong, statistically significant relationship between mobbing behavior and employee burnout, and a one-point increase in the average mobbing behavior with linear regression analysis increases the burnout level by 0.57 points. According to the one-way ANOVA test, it has been found that the education level variable has a statistically significant effect on the average decrease in individuals' sense of personal accomplishment; With the t test, it has been determined that the marital status variable does not statistically affect the individuals' average emotional exhaustion and the decrease in their sense of personal accomplishment.
In the work the author described, for the first time in this region, the psychological profiles of mobbing actors in the military environment. Mobbing actors in the military environment have more ...specific personality profiles than mobbing actors in the civil sector. So far, there has been mostly talk about mobber and mobbing victims. Mobber has a psychopathic personality structure and is most often at command position, but this is not a rule. The mobbing victim is most often at a lower formational position in the military hierarchy and is, also, mostly subordinate member of the collective. Mobbing victims are in most cases, among the most capable, the most professional people within their formational position and their military evidentiary service. In the same manner, they are motivated for a military call and have a high motivation for achievement. They love their business. They react to stimulating measures. These are the seniors who cause envy of colleagues. Also, they are honest and strictly adhered to military regulations. In their working lives, they have been rewarded and praised many times because of their great results. In the same context, they demonstrate pedantry in work on entrusted tasks and work tasks, respect the deadlines for the execution of tasks, strictly adhere to military regulations, innovation in work and self-initiative. Also, the author described and discovered another profile that belongs to mobbing actors, but which has not been mentioned in theory and practice so far. These are imitators of mobbers. They represent a “security cordon” of mobber, the support group. Mostly they are, from the psychological aspect, simple personality structures. When they enter in the “work of the imitators,” they often translate their observations into the language of their own interests. For them, it is permitted periodic deviations in military behavior. Among the imitators of the mobber there are seniors, who in the past had military “sins,” so that mobber really “keeps them in the hand”. The work is useful for military psychologists, especially for seniors on command positions, who, on the basis of the facts presented, can easily identify the mobbing actors in the military collective and, on the basis of these findings, take adequate measures of prevention.
Abstract
Mobbing is a prevalent anti-predatory behaviour in birds where prey actively engage in harassing predators. Functional traits have been shown to affect prey species’ tendency to engage in ...mobbing, but empirical studies have largely neglected to assess the influence of some other potentially important functional traits, such as intraspecific and interspecific sociality, on mobbing or measured different aspects of the behaviour. In this study, we performed playback experiments that elicited mobbing responses from a forest bird community in southern China, to investigate the influence of body mass, foraging strata, as well as intra- and interspecific sociality, on the prevalence of mobbing, as well as the intensity of aggression and vocalness. We found that species with small body masses engaged in more frequent and intense mobbing behaviours. Notably, interspecific sociality was negatively associated with birds’ mobbing prevalence and tended to be negatively associated with vocalness.

Many species mob predators to drive them away. Mobbing carries personal risk, but the risk of injury or death declines and the likelihood of repelling the predator increases in larger groups. The ...capacity to evaluate the number of mobbers before joining a mobbing group may be highly beneficial for individuals when deciding to join. Although recent studies have found that birds can use individual vocal discrimination to assess the number of conspecifics involved in initiating mobbing events, it is little known whether birds are able to evaluate the number of heterospecific mobbers. In this study, we investigated whether the number of heterospecifics responding to mobbing calls of Great Tits Parus major was influenced by the number of callers (a mix of Great Tit callers simulated by playbacks and live Great Tits attracted to playbacks, range one to seven callers). The total number of responding heterospecific individuals and species was positively influenced by the total number of callers, with heterospecifics responding more to larger than smaller Great Tit groups. However, these results may be driven by the total number of calls, call overlap and increased noise generated by the additional mobbers, and not the number per se. These findings therefore allow us to assess whether birds are more inclined to join a mobbing group when it consists of more heterospecific callers, but we cannot tell whether birds use individual vocal discrimination to assess the number of heterospecific callers.
