Assédio moral nas relações de trabalho : uma violência naturalizada

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze Moral Harassment, in the Labor Relationship in Brazil, in the light of the institution of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), Convention n° 190 - OIT and Recommendation n° 206 - OIT. The basis for the study was given in view of the high level of incidence of moral harassment in the work environment, with serious consequences which generate significant damage that does not only affect the victimized worker, but that extends to his co-workers, to the his family, companies, the State and society as a whole. The aim is to discuss the concept of Moral Harassment showing its characteristics, highlighting its various forms of manifestation, its impacts as a way of visualizing the appropriateness of moral harassment in the employment relationship, the legal nature, which exists in favor of the one who, despite the its hyposufficiency is the engine that manages the entire economy in a globalized way, as well as analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting that the female gender is more subject to this type of violence. As a descriptive research, the objective is to clarify, as much as possible, a subject that is already known, describing about it. For this, a theoretical review involving the object of study was carried out, analyzing and comparing the information. Data collection was done on websites, books and articles related to the topic. The study will be essentially qualitative, with emphasis on documentary and bibliographical research, to raise the following hypothesis: why is moral harassment still a naturalized violence in the workplace? In the end, the study showed that despite the advances in the protection of Brazilian female workers, there are still signs of inequalities in the professional day-to-day, conditioned by the historical reversal of factors that affect only women, such as motherhood and the triple shift, aggravated by the COVID-19, as the pandemic has exacerbated the impact through telecommuting.
