MOBBING IN THE WORKPLACES OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

All of us as members of the social community are witnesses of daily threats, denials, insults, and many negative relationships that appear between the employer and the employee, as well as between the employees in an enterprise. Multiple pressures, abusing, molesting and mistreatment in various ways cause serious problems to mobbing victims, which are also serious disorders in the health and the psychology of a worker.The Republic of Macedonia as a developing country is a country where mobbing in the workplace is very prominent, although the state has adopted the law on the protection of workers at the workplace, although we are all witnesses that this law did not improve the worst situation in which workers are today. Even the weak system in the country as well as the irregular ratio between the small number of vacancies for employment and the enormous number of jobseekers have an impact on mobbing in the workplace in the Republic of Macedonia.As for the phenomenon of mobbing we can say that it is the appearance of psychological harassment in the workplace that is repeated through actions aimed at the degradation or mistreatment of working conditions that may cause violations of human rights and dignity, to injure mental and physical health and to affect the professional future of the victim. In the Macedonian legal terminology for the term "mobbing" is used the phrase "bullying at work".It should be said that mobbing is often overwhelming because it includes acts that actually look normal but it is their entirety that psychologically undermines the victim to the point that he or she abandons the workplace. The Republic of Macedonia as a developing country is a country with a high level of mobbing that is mostly present in the private sector, resulting from the weak legal system in the country and the very low number of free places for employment.
