Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a concept with an increasing emphasis on the health sector. Mobbing is the most important formation that affects the motivation of health personnel in the negative direction. In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of the mobing in the workplace on the entrepreneurship activities of the individual. Articles on entrepreneurship are searched by key words such as mobbing, entrepreneurship, in PubMed, Medline, EBSCOHost, PsycINFO, Turkish Medline, Çukurova Index Databases and Google Scholar and it has benefited from the work that is appropriate for review. Today, as in other fields, mobbing is also mentioned in the field of health and there is serious loss of workplace performance in health personnel exposed to mobinge. Individuals can have more devastating consequences than other types of stress. However, systematic violence within an institution may cause an individual to live anxiety, threat, insecurity about the future. This may jeopardize the entrepreneurship of the individual as it can affect the decision-making power, autonomy, in business life. In health institutions, administratively, initiatives to prevent mobiling can help to support the entrepreneurial traits of the staff and improve their performance.
