Özet:

This study was carried out to examine the mobbing perceptions of employees at Çukurova University (ÇU) and whether this perception differs depending on gender, title or marital status. Although mobbing is a very old concept, people's awareness of the issue is very low, especially in our country. This is clearly demonstrated by the survey. Although s/he gave a positive answer to the detailed questions on the Likert-type scale about the existence of psychological pressures s/he was exposed to, there were quite a lot of data stating that s/he was not subject to mobbing. Unconscious responses, emotions hidden for promotion and the presence of incorrect answers due to fear were frequently encountered in individual interviews. With this three-part questionnaire study, 146 women and 162 men were interviewed, consisting of 33 professors, 15 associate professors, 23 assistant professors, 14 lecturers, 52 research assistants, 9 instructers, 162 administrative staff. However, although there is no significant difference between exposure to mobbing and gender in statistical analysis, the results incidate that female academicians are more disadvantaged than men in many aspects. In terms of the gender perspective, because it is one of the occupations considered suitable for women, the number of women academics in Turkey is above the world average (YÖK, 2020). In the findings of the research at ÇU, which is one of the universities that increased this average, it is also surprising that women are seen to be disadvantaged.
