Mobbing in the workplace does not encompass all examples of unacceptable or negative treatment enacted by employer, colleague or subordinate, but presents an objectified form of morally or ethically controversial and evidently negative treatment. A decisive point in such cases is a way in which a treatment would be considered and estimated by an average person, what means that various characteristically caused actions or reactions of individuals in certain circumstances cannot be exclusively attributed to employer. In the master's thesis I comprehensively presented mobbing in the workplace. Especially, I focused on its legal aspects, such as development of legal matter, definition and distinction from other kinds of violations. After detailed description of legal standing follows psychosocial review of various types, stages and reasons for mobbing in the workplace, because it seems crucial for a comprehensive understanding of this problem. Furthermore, I more thorough described legal measures, which range from admonition to request for judicial remedies, as well as duties of authorized persons and bodies. In the second part of the master's thesis I provided essential standpoint of the Slovene case-law and some foreign court decisions, because mobbing is a legal term, which is interpreted by courts. The latter primarily in a sense of method and lastingness formed a condition, that mobbing refers to illegal actions which appear at least once a week in a period of at least half a year.
