Workplace moral harassment: its consequences for society

Abstract:

Moral harassment is a persistent pattern of mistreatment from others in the workplace. Among the main impacts, there is the devaluation of work, followed by low professional performance, while in personal life, abusive behaviors can lead the worker to physical and psychological illness. The difficulty in proving the facts makes it difficult to penalize the perpetrators of these crimes, thus perpetuating impunity and reinforcing the undue naturalization of cases of moral harassment.
