The first English translation of the seminal work of Dr. Heinz Leymann. The term workplace mobbing, or the ganging up of peers and managers against a workmate, was conceptualized by a single scientist, Heinz Leymann in his research to identify a distinct form of collective workplace aggression that has now opened the door to specialization in the field of mobbing and laid the groundwork for its subsequent policies and laws governing human resource management departments globally.
Reviews
“Whoever would understand workplace mobbing, its nature, correlates, antecedents and consequences, can now access the founding scientist’s views in the main language of the scientific world…serious students of mobbing can henceforth read the foundational concepts and hypotheses in their original formulation – so to speak, from the horse’s mouth.”
