MODEL OF MOBBING CONSEQUENCES ON INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: In practice we cannot talk about mobbing consequences on any level before the leaders of organizations and employees do not understand the damage of unconstructive conflicts and do not take personal responsibility for the organization and its members. Unfortunately even in scientific literature there are cases when, for example, the spreading of rumors and gossips are evaluated positively as a useful source of information. After the evaluation of the phenomenon's nature, mobbing consequences and the harm done, we can state that mostly it is noticed on the individual level. The consequences of mobbing have three sides that have close psychological, physical and professional connections.

The person, who has experienced mobbing can suffer sickness all his life. Nevertheless it is impossible to analyze the consequences of mobbing separately from the consequences which affect the organization. If the system is treated systematically it is obvious that damage done to one of its elements becomes the damage to the whole system. There are no exact data in Western and Lithuanian science about the financial and economical loss experienced by organizations because of mobbing. But the developed Western countries count loss in tens of billions dollars; it includes the income which they did not get and expenses which are related to the quality of products, personnel search and rotation , education, sickness rate, disability, court expenses an compensations.
