Workplace mobbing represents a serious issue in modern organizations, with significant consequences for employee health and workplace efficiency. It is particularly pronounced in the healthcare sector, where various forms of mobbing are observed, such as horizontal, vertical, professional, and emotional mobbing. The primary aim of this research is to examine the prevalence of mobbing among healthcare workers in Aranđelovac, with a specific focus on nurses and technicians, as well as to identify the causes and consequences of mobbing in this context.
The research indicates a high prevalence of mobbing in healthcare institutions in Aranđelovac, particularly among nurses and technicians. Newly hired workers are at a higher risk of mobbing compared to those with greater work experience. Differences between women and men were not statistically significant. Specific interventions and preventive measures need to be developed and implemented to improve the work environment and employees' health in the healthcare sector. The study highlights the importance of a systematic approach to addressing the issue of mobbing while focusing on local specificities within the context of global trends.
