Tipificación del mobbing en la legislación ecuatoriana.

Abstract

This academic article delves into the phenomenon of mobbing in the workplace, distinguishing it from traditional workplace harassment. While both forms involve detrimental behavior, mobbing focuses on psychological abuse that leads to more complex situations and potentially severe consequences. This type of psychological harassment often targets individuals perceived as submissive, aiming to undermine their psychological and potentially physical integrity, often resulting in their resignation from their position. The article identifies the different types of mobbing and analyzes how this issue is addressed in Colombia, Mexico, and Spain through a comparative legal approach. It highlights the lack of a specific legal definition for mobbing in Ecuadorian legislation and explores the potential impact of this omission on individuals within their labor relations. The article concludes by presenting findings and recommendations based on the research conducted.
