Results showed that 12.5% of the sample identified themselves as victims of workplace mobbing. In the majority of cases victims are women and employees of the public sector. Supervisors were identified as the main perpetrators of mobbing actions. Victims informed physical, psychological, and social consequences to the mobbing experience.
