Bullying in the social worker’s labor relationships — an emerging issue

Abstract:

The present article resulted from a master’s degree dissertation whose aim was to analyze bullying as a new strategy of management in labor relationships in the current context of production restructuring, with an emphasis on social workers. The research undertaken showed the annoying and humiliating situations the professionals are subject to. Such situations are repetitive, they go on during the working hours, and they cause moral damage, suffering, mental strain and illness.
