Mobbing is a destructive social process in which individuals,
groups, or organizations target a person for ridicule, humiliation,
and removal from the workplace. It can lead to deteriorating
physical and mental health, workplace violence, and even suicide.
Studies indicate that as many as 37% of American workers have
experienced workplace abuse at some time in their working lives.
Overcoming Mobbing is an informative, comprehensive guidebook
written for the victims of mobbing and their families who often
can't make sense of the experience or mobilize resources for
recovery. In an engaging, reader-friendly style, the book
distinguishes mobbing from bullying in that it takes place within
organizational or institutional settings and involves
organizational dynamics. Mobbing is not about the occasional
negative experience at work; it is ongoing negative acts, both
overt and covert, over time, that erode workers' confidence in
themselves and in their workplaces and that no amount of
sophistication or maturity can make sense of. Duffy and Sperry,
leading authorities on this special type of aggression, provide
effective strategies for recovery from mobbing as well as for
prevention, and they demystify the experience through the use of
case vignettes. More than a simple self-help book, this volume
brings the concept and terminology relating to mobbing into the
public vocabulary by virtue of its strong foundation in
psychological and organizational research. It offers a detailed
presentation of the causes and consequences of mobbing, helps
readers avoid falling into the trap of misplacing blame, and holds
organizations at the center of responsibility for preventing the
abuse. In addition to those who have experienced mobbing
themselves, this book is an invaluable resource for workplace
managers and human resources personnel who wish to prevent or
reverse mobbing within their own professional settings.
