“…Some recent studies conducted in universities [17,19,22], in accordance with our results, revealed out that the frequency of directly mobbing may reach to 17-29% in academic personnel. In addition, the frequency of verbal mobbing experienced by academicians in our study was similar to that of another study [20] but it was lower compared to other two studies [17,25].These studies reported that the rate of verbal mobbing behaviors was between 82-90 %. Differences in the rate of mobbing in these studies may be a result of using different mobbing definitions, scales [21,25] settings and participants(academic staff, only academic nurses, only physicians [14] and differences perceptions of workplace violence [1,26,27].…”

Objective: To determine psychological violence behaviors (mobbing) exposed by academic personnel working in Erciyes University, Turkey. Methods:A questionnaire-based cross sectional study was performed in June 2010 in Erciyes University. No sampling methods were used, questionnaires were delivered by mail to all academicians and 450 of 850 (53.0%) questionnaires were returned. We used the Mobbing Perception Scale (MPS) for data collection.Results: A total of 58.2% of the academicians experienced recurrent physiological violence at least once a week in the workplace and 16.6% stated that they were directly exposed to mobbing behavior every day (>1 point) in the past year, 44.7% reported "assault to their professional status", 42.8% reported "assault to personality", 39.9 % reported "isolation from work", 13.0% reported "direct negative behavior". The most commonly (30.4%) experienced behavior was; "groundless talk about the person in question". Mobbing was not associated with demographic and professional variables. The main source of mobbing was the managers. Also 68.0% of the victims resorted to passive defense strategies, and only 2.5% took legal action. Conclusion:Workplace mobbing is a critical problem for academicians in our university. The level of directly mobbing behavior was substantially high. The most common threatening behavior was "assault to professional status". The primary mobbers were the managers. A great of majority academicians had not been received professional help and they internalized the mobbing. The findings indicated that levels of awareness of mobbing have increased among academicians.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the importance of gender as a causative factor of mobbing, which is one of the prominent problems in today's occupational life. The study is important in that it brings together the findings of postgraduate theses in Turkey on the subject of mobbing to demonstrate the role of gender. The study was based on a descriptive screening model, since it aims to examine a current phenomenon. Data collection was performed using the document analysis method. In this study, all published doctorate, postgraduate and medical theses in Turkey investigating mobbing incidents in occupational life (281 theses in total) were examined. 213 theses -including 15 doctorate theses, 197 postgraduate theses, and one medical thesis -were included into the study analysis. 37% of these theses indicated that gender has an effect on mobbing. This result indicates that one in three persons in the workplace face mobbing behaviors due to their gender. In conclusion, this study determined that women face mobbing more frequently than men. The results of mobbing studies in Turkey are similar to those conducted around the world, demonstrating that women are at greater risk of mobbing in their occupational lives.
