ANTUNES, José. Workplace bullying: Reviewing the evidence. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.3, pp.669-680. ISSN 1645-0086.  https://doi.org/10.15309/17psd180304.

The workplace bullying has been associated with a great number of health problems. Being a continuing process has an impact in social, psychological and psychosomatic terms not only on the victims but also on their families and even on their fellow workers who are witnesses. Affecting job satisfaction and involvement, workplace bullying also has high economic and social costs for businesses, including sick leave and early retirement. We have done a research in the biomedical literature, of the systematic reviews published in the last ten years, on workplace bullying or mobbing in order to clarify the peculiarities of this phenomenon of the world of work, to understand its development, to perceive who affects the business organizations and to analyze the negative health impacts that professionals and services should be aware of in order to act in terms of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.

Keywords : workplace bullying; health; review.
