Mobbing or Moral Harassment in the Workplace and its Treatment in Venezuela

Abstract

This documentary investigation analyzes doctrinal positions regarding
the phenomenon of
mobbing or moral harassment in the workplace,
establishing its causes, types and characteristics in order to differentiate it
from other phenomena that also take place in the working environment and
above all, determine the treatment given to it by Venezuelan legislation,
understanding that no special law exists for its regulation. The study
analyzes regulations in effect that could be applied to mobbing, as well
as legal decisions that have established precedents and set criteria that
a judge should consider when pronouncing his or her verdict. Finally,
it examines the protection offered by the Social Security System for the
worker who suffers from an illness considered professional or occupational
as a consequence of these annoying actions.
