Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

Workplace bullying is an important occupational health problem characterized by abusive practices that can compromise workers' dignity, professional relationships, and psychological well-being. Exposure to humiliation, embarrassment, intimidation, isolation, professional disqualification, and other forms of psychological violence may have significant consequences for mental health, contributing to emotional distress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, occupational stress, exhaustion, and impaired quality of life. This study aims to analyze workplace bullying and its impacts on workers' mental health, discussing associated factors, individual and organizational consequences, and prevention and coping strategies. This is a narrative literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on scientific publications and institutional documents related to mental health, occupational health, psychosocial risks, and workplace violence. The literature indicates that organizational environments characterized by authoritarian relationships, inadequate communication, excessive competition, weak institutional support, and tolerance of abusive behaviors may contribute to workplace bullying. It is concluded that addressing this phenomenon requires permanent organizational measures, institutional prevention policies, safe communication channels, leadership training, and the strengthening of work environments based on respect, dignity, and protection of mental health.
