INTRODUCTION

TO BULLY

Pursuing, without giving respite or rest, an animal or person Insistently rewarding someone with discomfort or requirements. (ASALE, 2017b)

The harassment that human beings exercise towards their equals is not recent, since historically it is known that any individual or civilization that holds a certain power or authority over another, will always tend to subdue and subdue it. In such a way that the superiority of one over the other is made manifest; This superiority can be size, economic, or even "moral."

Among the forms of harassment that have been identified and currently studied, which vary according to the environment in which they occur and by whom they are exercised and suffered, there are the following:

Bullying or

This type of harassment is what is exercised and suffered in schools. In which students, through aggressive, malicious and repetitive attitudes, harass others (Polegar Medios SL, 2017). This harassment can be verbal, physical, psychological or social.

sexual harassment

This type of harassment can occur in the school or work environment, it is generally exercised by authority figures, although not necessarily, since it can be exercised by people with authority or not within organizations. There is an abusive exercise of power, usually physical force, which leads to a state of defenselessness and risk for the victim (DOF, 2007).

Physical harassment or

Type of harassment in which the individual is stalked by another obsessively persecuted; he is spied on, threatened and sometimes physically violated (G + J España, s / f). This generally occurs when the harasser has some kind of relationship with the victim, it can be sentimental, work, occasional, and so on.

Cyber bullying or cyber-talk

In essence it is the same as stalking, the difference is that the harassment is by electronic means, such as computers or cell phones, making use of information technologies. At present, this type of harassment has gained strength due to the use of social networks, to which the majority of the population has access, mainly young people and children, who have been identified as the most vulnerable sector. With new communication technologies, victims are harassed online at any time and from anywhere. Understanding this form of aggression can help researchers, educators and authorities to prevent it, (Guillermo Cárdenas Guzmán, 2014)

WHAT IS WORKPLACE HARASSMENT OR MOBBING?

The identification and study of the type of harassment is relatively recent in Mexico, since it can be confused with a labor requirement or the pressure exerted by a person with authority in a company, such is the case of the direct boss on the employee, with the objective of incentivizing your employees. In the same way, it is not something that is spoken openly by the workers of the organizations, for fear of reprisals from their direct bosses or in the worst case the loss of their job. Among the definitions of workplace harassment that exist, the following are the definitions of the Royal Academy of the Language and that of the parliamentary gazette of the official newspaper of the federation, which deals with matters relating to mobbing;

Practice exercised in the workplace and consisting of subjecting an employee to psychological pressure to provoke his marginalization. (ASALE, 2017a)

Mobbing is a type of workplace violence that is exercised by people without distinction of gender against men and women in systematic ways and for a prolonged time with the aim of causing deliberate harm, where its consequences can be devastating for the victims, giving rise to a series of psychological disorders. (DOF, 2013)

Give the victim a lot of work.

Threatening the victim continuously and for a long time.

Offer tasks without responsibility or without importance, routine and without interest; promoting that the worker feels that he does not contribute anything and does not achieve his personal objectives, consequently he becomes frustrated and resigns from the organization.

Modify arbitrarily, without taking the worker's opinion, the responsibilities and obligations of his job.

Discriminate against the victim, treat her differently from her peers, motivating her to be classified as someone undesirable, or with whom she cannot work adequately Ignore the victim or exclude her when she is present, that is, as if she were invisible. The stalker addresses the other people in the room, except the victim.

Monopolize information by the harasser, hindering the victim's work activities, or causing errors to occur by not having the necessary resources for their work. For the purpose of reprimanding the victim or accusing him of unprofessional or negligent conduct.

Defame the victim through rumors that cause him to be frowned upon by the organization; make the affected person see as unprofessional, damage their image and reputation.

Failing to value the effort and activities carried out, making the victim and his colleagues see that they have no impact on the organization. In the same way, their activities are not evaluated, as they are considered inconsequential.

Ironize, ridicule the personality of the victim, as well as the activities carried out by it, to undermine his authority and belittle his work; encouraging coworkers not to take it seriously.

Obsessive behavior of the victim when talking about the matter that leads to possible abandonment by family and friends.

Little or no support from the family to deal with this situation, psychologically or legally.

Decay of the public image of the victim in the productive or social sector in which they operate.

CONCLUSIONS

The objective of mobbing is only one, and it is to destroy organizations. Since the only thing it achieves is to force the victims of this to abandon them since in some cases psychological harassment can become disabling, not allowing them to carry out the tasks normally. To a lesser extent, it can encourage the change of the victim from an area within the company to one where they are not an expert, generating poor performance.

And not everything ends in the resignation of the victim to the organization, since the perpetrator can continue with his harassing activities after leaving the company; giving false or negative information to potential employers in order to prevent them from joining another organization.

The victims can be very capable people, with exceptional personal capacities and competencies, but unfortunately, the lack of care when detecting and hiring “toxic” people, especially in positions with certain authority, can trigger suicidal situations in these situations. the organization. Since far from generating a good work environment and encouraging union and collaboration between staff and departments, it encourages the opposite.
