URDANETA, Juan Gerardo Ávila. Workplace harassment or mobbing as a causal element of workplace accidents. RCUISRAEL [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.3, pp.123-136. ISSN 2631-2786.  https://doi.org/10.35290/rcui.v7n3.2020.331.

The aim of this article is to analyze the influence of mobbing as an element that causes occupational accidents. This problem affects the development of psychosocial risks that affect workers emotionally, physically and psychologically. To this end, several authors were analyzed, as well as the legal laws of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Lopcymat, its regulations, the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, the Ecuadorian Labor Code and the Ecuadorian Penal Code. The type of research was documentary with a bibliographic design, the population was constituted by doctrine and laws. The documentary observation technique was also used, as well as a review and analysis of the bibliography. As a result, mobbing is one of the most serious factors of psychosocial risks, since serious physical, emotional and psychological damages are caused in the worker being harassed intentionally and deliberately. It was also concluded that mobbing leaves its victims in a state of permanent hypervigilance, eventually causing a state of intense stress, leaving the person sensitive not only to a work accident but could also commit suicide.

Keywords : mobbing; occupational harassment; psychoterror; psychosocial risks.
