Psychological harassment (mobbing) is considered to include a set of behaviors or actions exercised systematically and prolonged over time, whose purpose or effect is objectively degrading treatment personal and/or professional, with the consequent damage to the dignity and moral integrity of the affected person and the degradation of their work environment.
