Mobbing at workplace in the light of supreme court decisions in Turkish Law

Mobbing in the workplace; is an insidious and immoral attack aimed at undermining employee self-confidence, intimidating, pacifying, and ultimately neutralizing it in the work environment. Mobbing, which mostly originates from the corrupt personality of the perpetrator, has devastating effects on the functioning of the organization and the economic life, not only the targeted employee but also the employee's family and other employees in the work environment. Mobbing in the workplace, which was started to be discussed in the Western world since the early 1980s and started to be legally regulated since the 1990s, was brought to a legal basis with the 417th article of the Turkish Law of Obligations. In Turkish doctrine, it can be said that the common denominator can be provided about the definition and elements of the concept, but it is difficult to say that the legal remedies of the victims are clarified. At this point, the fact that the mobbing in the workplace is still not organized as a crime under the Turkish Criminal Law and the lack of protection of the victims in the scope of social security can be considered as serious deficiencies.
