Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine awareness, frequency, type and scale of occurrence of mobbing in the workplace. After defining the concept of mobbing, its characteristic features are presented. Basic types have been defined and the reasons and conditions favorable to its occurrence have been indicated. The scale of mobbing in Poland was shown. Analyzing the results of surveys of a group of 100 people, of which 73 observed this phenomenon personally or were directly victims of mobbing, it was found that knowledge of the concept of mobbing was common, because almost ¾ of the respondents encountered this phenomenon. The victims of mobbing were mainly women. Fulfilling the definitive premises of mobbing was confirmed in less than 50% of cases of people surveyed.
