Assédio moral no trabalho: uma análise bibliométrica da produção científica no contexto nacional

Abstract

As a consequence of moral harassment, employees may suffer physical, moral and psychological damage, thus interfering with their social and professional relationships. Considering that harassment in the workplace impacts a worker's quality of life, this study sought to investigate this phenomenon to provide healthy work environments. Given the relevance of this topic, a bibliometric study was carried out to analyze the volume of publications, journal titles, years of publications, as well as information related to the topic. Given this, the problem that led this research was the following: what is the profile of publications on workplace bullying in national journals between 2012 and 2022? Therefore, the general objective of this study was to analyze the bibliometric profile of publications on workplace bullying in national journals between 2012 and 2022. In order to answer this objective, bibliometric research with a quantitative approach was carried out. Data collection was done in the SPELL database. The research results identified that in the period from 2012 to 2022, only 41 articles were published, which highlights a lack of studies on the topic in academic literature and indicates that it has not yet received due attention from researchers. It is recommended for future research to use more than one database and include other types of work, such as theses, dissertations and monographs.
