Abstract
PURPOSE
This study aimed to examine mobbing in the health sector based on the Supreme Court case law.
DESIGN AND METHODS
The data were accessed on the website of the Supreme Court. Searches were made using mobbing and health-related keywords and filters. As a result, 43 lawsuits were included.
CONCLUSIONS
Most of the cases occurred in private hospitals. Hospital managers were accused of mobbing in 88% of cases. In 30% of cases, nurses were plaintiffs. Also, 45% of cases involved an attack on the occupational situation of employees.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
It is important to develop policies specific to mobbing behavior in the workplace at the macro level and to consider legislation and management monitoring by health managers and especially nurse managers at the micro level.
