| Notes |
identity"For better or for worse, job, career, and personal identity are tightly interconnected and a rupture in one causes ruptures in the others."
fear, job loss"Work is a basic need, and its threatened loss, especially as a result of mobbing, results in primal fear."
mobbing"Mobbing is not about the occasional negative or even abusive experience at work . Most adult workers are sophisticated enough to understand that occasional intense and difficult interactions with coworkers and supervisors can and do happen, and they are mature enough to tolerate and cope fairly well with them. Mobbing is different. It is the experience of ongoing negative acts, both overt and covert, over time, which erodes workers' confidence in themselves and in their workplaces. No amount of sophistication or maturity can make sense of it." (p. 1)
