Study of mobbing processes in the education system

In the modern world, the problem of psychological violence is relevant. The foreign word mobbing, which has been used by Russian researchers only for several years, is currently well known to lay people. Mobbing is a phenomenon of psychological violence, expressed in the long-term persecution of an employee in the workplace. This process is present in schools, universities and companies. The spread of psychological violence in different age groups and organizations indicates the conditions in Russian society contributing to its development - economic and political instability and pronounced social inequality. An important condition for mobbing processes is the corporate microclimate. Mobbing can be caused by an insignificant conflict in the workplace. Conflict situations arise when people interact. Victims of mobbing have an increased likelihood to deteriorate their psychological and physical health. The purpose of the work is to study mobbing processes in the education system. The study analyzes five educational institutions of Irkutsk region. The study was being conducted from October 2020 to October 2021. The most common methodological tool for studying mobbing are psychological methods; the survey of teachers was, therefore, conducted. Based on the survey analysis, mobbing processes in labor collectives were identified, and the most vulnerable categories of workers were identified. The key causes of mobbing processes in the workplace is indifference or even encouragement of aggressive behaviors. The launch of mobbing processes depends on the leader and staff. Employees satisfied with their jobs and corporate relationships work better and get sick less often. Those who try to use mobbing to strengthen the team and improve the labor productivity will fail.
