Meio ambiente do trabalho e a problemática do assédio moral organizacional: uma análise aplicada às instituições financeiras

Abstract

The present research aims at discussing environmental protection regarding the workplace based on the principles and fundamental human rights guaranteed under the 1998 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, as well as its violation through organizational moral harassment which has been occurring in financial institutions at this current Brazilian Economical Scenario. Such theme, which is discussed here, is of great importance, especially because the organizational moral harassment has been treated as a new appearance of the already known moral harassment, having the institutional and diffuse aspects as its main differences. The individualized idea of moral harassment has been broken in order to be understood as a consequence of implementation of work management aiming at increasing productivity as well as organizational controlling. In this path, organizational moral harassment becomes a degrading element of working conditions; moreover, it may be understood as a polluting agent of the workplace environment. It is noted that such practice is considered abuse of rights from the employers who take advantage of their subjective right of organizing and overseeing the production which, as a result, harm fundamental human rights guaranteed to the employees, commonly regarding the growth of their production.
