Abstract :

Nowadays business life is getting even more complex. Although they were known previously, some subjects related to business life have been thought as spontaneous, have been neglected or have not been researched elaborately. However, in recent years, it can be observed that some of these subjects are being analyzed thoroughly more than before. Mobbing is one of these subjects which takes place rather frequently in either academic or other researches. Mobbing, which is among aggressive behaviour issue, should be evaluated both from the agressors’ and the victims’ point of view. In literature, it can be seen that there are numerous researches on mobbing which concentrates only on agressors, whereas there are not much studies examining mobbing victims. Therefore in the research part of this study mobbing victims are chosen as a sample and the relationship between mobbing victims and their personality characteristics is examined. The main assumption of the study is that some people who have specific personality characteristics are typically mobbing victims than others who do not have these personality characteristics.
