Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between mobbing and work alienation with a special emphasis on the role of support from colleagues. A questionnaire based on Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terror scale which measures mobbing and Mottaz (1981) 21-item that measures work alienation was used to assess this relationship. The sample constitutes of 182 professionals employed in various companies in Istanbul. The findings supported the main research hypothesis and showed that mobbing influences work alienation. Support from colleagues has a moderating role in the relationship between mobbing and work alienation. The results of this research provide important insight to existing theory and have practical implications for managers in terms of the relationship between mobbing and work alienation.
