PROBLEM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE: MORAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE

Abstract

Workplace moral harassment has been an ongoing issue for a long time. However, this problem has gained prominence in recent years, with ongoing studies and research being conducted on this subject. The suffering in this domain presents itself in various forms. From physical to psychological issues, what is noticed is that the violence in this environment takes on increasingly subtle and perverse shapes. Labor activity is the essence through which individuals connect to production, but it's also where power dynamics and exploitation manifest in capitalist society. In a new work environment shaped by globalization and modernization, industries and companies increasingly push the pace of their activities in the pursuit of profit in less time. It is within this context that the phenomenon of moral harassment in the professional environment arises. It is evident that this phenomenon brings damages not only to the victims but also to the public body or company and society as a whole. Thus, the aim of this study is to raise awareness of the importance of this issue, prompting reflection and awareness among all involved parties in this process. The research involves a multidisciplinary study, using bibliographic research techniques, bibliography analysis, and the Brazilian jurisprudential position, offering ideas and solutions to the problems raised. It will be demonstrated that knowledge is the most powerful weapon in the fight against this terrible social scourge.
