“…Of note is that over one-half (63%) of the respondents reported being bullied regularly or sporadically at some point during their working careers. This percentage is higher but still consistent with what is reported in other international nursing samples (Spector et al 2014;Vessey et al 2010) and somewhat less than reported in other Russian professions' labour studies (Safina & Podgornaya 2014). Characteristics of the prevailing culture including role expectations, behavioural intentions and actions influence the prevalence of bullying that occurs both in the schoolyard and the workplace (Bond 2004).…”

“…This is reflected in regulation. Although there are strict obligations in the Russian Federation to ensure workplace safety, current legislation does not regulate bullying per se (Chernyaeva 2014;Safina & Podgornaya 2014;Thomas et al 2016).…”

“…The mobber is "the executioner," the one who begins and performs the mobbing behaviors. The mobber has a persecutory intent; the victim is harassed, discriminated against, and treated differently from others because of a specific and coherent vexatious intent (Bartalucci, 2010;Ehe, 2010;Safina & Podgornaya, 2014). In their analysis of the phenomenon, Acquadro Maran, Bernardelli and Varetto (2018) found that mobbers could be categorized as follows:…”

The aim of this work is to provide a descriptive analysis of the mobbing phenomenon found in a sampling of Italian civil court judgments in the last fifteen years. The analysis was conducted according to the behaviors that characterize the mobbing, the type of workplace, the power differential between perpetrator and victim, the victim's and the perpetrator's typologies, the motives, and the consequences for the victim. Data were gathered from two free websites on civil judgments involving mobbing. An analysis of the 73 civil judgments showed 34 male victims (46.6%) and 39 female victims (53.4%) of mobbing. In 68 (93.2%) cases, the behavior that characterized the mobbing campaign was an attack on personal and professional life. Female victims of mobbing in particular indicated isolation and attack on reputation. About half of the sample worked in a private company, 16 (21.9%) in public administration, 11 (15.1%) in the educational sector, and nine (12.3%) in the health sector. The time from the beginning of the mobbing campaign to when it was reported was higher among men than women. Moreover, female victims are more prone than male victims to report suffering from an anxiety disorder as a consequence of mobbing, and they perceive the mobbing behavior to be caused by the perpetrator's personal characteristics. Men, on the other hand, more often than women consider the abusive acts casual and more frequently believe they are the "chosen victim" because of perceived personal weaknesses.

“…This does not employ any form of collective physical abuse of employees; but rather targeted largely on the victim's innermost self. This is why Safina and Podgornaya (2014) believe that mobbing can take such an emotional toll on its victims that it eventually results to physical health damage. The persistent pressure that mobbing provokes in targets make relaxation difficult at work or away from work and cause fatigue.…”
