Abstract

In order to examine the prevalence of mobbing among college students who work and their relationship with the well-being at work, this dissertation is composed of two empirical articles. The first one deals with mobbing on college students who work on the second college students who work on mobbing and its relation to the well-being. The first investigation is a quantitative, descriptive, aiming to investigate the prevalence of mobbing among college students who work, still seeking to know what are the characteristics and labor biosocialdemographics more frequent in the group of workers who suffered mobbing. The sample consisted of 457 college students from the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, and 69.1% women and 30.9% men aged between 17 and 64 years. For this purpose two instruments were a questionnaire and a Biosocialdemographics Labour and Negative Acts Questionnaire (QAN). The main results indicated that 89.3% of workers who answered the questionnaire in that situation of violence in the workplace in accordance with the QAN - objective measure, with 66.4% of men and 61.2% of women experienced a negative act. According to the subjective measure, 11.2% of participants reported having experienced mobbing, while 9.2% considered themselves victims of mobbing and possible 2% of frequent mobbing. You can see high rates of negative acts within organizations, often impairing physical and mental health. The second article was characterized as explanatory and correlational, in order to investigate the relationship between mobbing in workers who study and well-being at work, and seek to know how mobbing affects the well-being at work and which acts negative predictors of the decrease of well-being. Was used a sample of 457 college students who work in addition to the instruments used in the first study, we applied the measures Well-Being at Work (BET). The results showed that there is significant correlation between measures of well-being at work and mobbing, indicating a negative association. Suggesting that situations of mobbing at work cause a decrease in well-being, is associated with less satisfaction and commitment at work. In linear regression analysis the presence of some negative acts at work and pressure to claim a right, to be ignored / deleted and perform tasks that are not part of the work were predictors that appeared in two-dimensional measures of well-being at work. These results indicate the need for companies to be more attentive to prevent and combat such violence, and may assist in planning future interventions aimed at reducing violence within organizations and for the promotion of health of these individuals.
