Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on interpersonal relationships governing in the work environment, on psychological terror that appears increasingly in work environment, either from a superior or from co-workers. The article approaches mobbing and bossing in workplace, its origin, its various phases and its negative impact on workers as well as related transfer of feelings and moods into family, which can cause discords not only in workplace but in private life, as well. The aim is to point out the possibility of using the knowledge of social work to prevent formation, amelioration or elimination of negative phenomena which – in a long run and in unhealthy atmosphere of working environment – tend to invade privacy and affect private life of the person facing unhealthy social environment existing in his/her workplace.
