EFFECTS OF MOBBING IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: A REVIEW ON GRADUATE THESES
Abstract
Mobbing has become a danger that has emerged or is likely to occur in all businesses worldwide.
The existence of mobbing is increasing day by day in healthcare institutions where labor-intensive
work is done. According to the data of global employment agencies; Bulgaria was found to be
the country with the highest mobbing exposure rate with 75.8%, respectively in Australia 67.2%,
South Africa 61%, Thailand 54%, Brazil 46.7% and England. It is specified as 40%. In Turkey, while
the complaints received by the employees in private institutions via the ALO170 application were
62% in 2013, this rate reached 70% in 2014. While investigating the causes of mobbing in health
institutions, 46 master’s thesis studies were conducted between 2010 and 2020, examining the
relationship between demographic characteristics and title, published in the national thesis center
database. In this study, it is aimed to compile the results of Turkish master’s theses that evaluate
the relationship between exposure to mobbing and demographic variables. As a result of the
study, in the findings of the research; It was found that there was no significant difference between
mobbing and personality traits such as age, gender, marital status and education level. Moreover;
There was no significant difference between mobbing with title, experience, occupational group
and unit of work. Significant differences have been identified in some studies between mobbing
and personal and professional characteristics.
