Abstract
In the context of capitalist labour market, employers expect a lot of
work from their employees in a short time to maximize their profits and
this reveal the time pressure or overload of work as an element of
mobbing. As changing world conditions made it necessary to reconsider
the definition of mobbing, in our study we included time pressure and
overload of work in definition of mobbing and analysed the odds of
facing mobbing at the workplace via logistic regression using a
nationally representative Health Survey of Turkey Micro Data Set 2012
considering a sample of 7,377 employed & 15+ aged individuals
considering a large group of independent variables as factors. Firstly,
it is seen that the prevalence of mobbing was 22.87% and being female,
being young, low educated, having chronic mental diseases, significantly
increasing chance of being under exposure to mobbing. We found that work
difficulty is increasing the mobbing risk almost 6 times. Also, people
working in human health sector are mobbed more than 2 times compared to
the working in education sector.
