Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to present conditions connected with defense actions taken by people mobbed at workplace. We touch the mobbing issue from the symbolic interactionism perspective, so we take into account definitions of situations created by victims. We also use the grounded theory as a methodological perspective for our analyses. Our research base on qualitative methods like: narrative and semi-structured interviews and also covert participant observation and documents’ analyses.
