For this purpose, interviews are conducted with 8 managers working in different sectors determined according to snowball sampling method which is the one of the purposive sampling method and interview notes are analysed with inductive content analysis.

Coping strategies for mobbing are described under two themes as active strategies and passive strategies.

At the same time, it is found that both negative actions are perceived as mobbing, and coping strategies against these actions are perceived as the stages of a process that interacts with each other by the participants.
