Resumen

Este trabajo se plantea como primer objetivo analizar la forma en que los trabajadores definen y delimitan el abuso psicológico en el lugar de trabajo. Y en segundo lugar analizar la incidencia del mobbing en dicha muestra de trabajadores. A través de un cuestionario auto-administrado elaborado por los autores para esta investigación, se pidió a los participantes (trabajadores en activo) a través de una pregunta abierta que expresaran qué entienden por mobbing. Además, se les pidió que juzgaran el grado de proximidad o experiencia con dicho fenómeno. Los trabajadores participantes en el estudio han descrito el mobbing apelando a los factores psicológicos y psicosociales, en detrimento de los aspectos físicos y sexuales. Además, la incidencia hallada del 10% se aprecia muy similar a la encontrada por diversos estudios de diferentes países europeos. Esta investigación ha profundizado en las percepciones de los trabajadores acerca de lo que entienden por mobbing, procurando contribuir de este modo a una mejor delimitación y evaluación del abuso psicológico en el lugar de trabajo.
