STRESS AND MOBBING AT WORK IN CROATIAN LEGISLATURE

Abstract

Ovaj članak obrađuje problematiku stresa i zlostavljanja na radu s podacima istraživanja ovog fenomena koje je provedeno tijekom 2000. godine u članicama Europske unije. Istraživanje je bilo osnova za donošenje Okvirnog sporazuma koji se odnosi na stres prouzročen na radnom mjestu. Stresu i zlostavljanju na radu dana je posebna pozornost koje definiraju osnovna načela Zakona o radu kojima se zabranjuje diskriminacija na području radnih odnosa u Republici Hrvatskoj. Iz iznesenih konstatacija nedvojbeno proizlazi da stres nije bolest, ali izloženost stresu može prouzročiti bolest. Stajalište autorice je da u Hrvatskoj pravog strateškog mobinga ima znatno manje nego u članicama Europske unije, i to prvenstveno iz razloga što je u Hrvatskoj jednostavnije otpustiti radnika nego što je to u zemljama Europske unije, kao i da mobing, odnosno zlostavljanje na radnom mjestu, dovodi do trajnog oštećenja zdravlja.SUMMARY: The paper focuses on the problem of stress and mobbing at work and provides data obtained in the study conducted with regard to this issue in the course of 2000 in the countries members of the European Union. The study served as the basis for a Frame Agreement referring to stress caused by work environment. Stress and mobbing were given special attention in the formulation of the basic principles utilised in the drafting of the Labour Act, forbidding any discrimination in labour relations in the Republic of Croatia. Findings show without a doubt that stress is not a disease but exposure to stress may cause disease. The author supports the view that in Croatia the incidence of real mobbing is significantly lower than in the members of the European Union, primarily because in Croatia it is relatively simpler to fire a worker than it is the case in European countries. Another conviction expressed by the author is that stress leads to permanent impairment of health
