Hărțuirea la locul de muncă în Republica Moldova: abordări teoretice și practice (Mobbing at the Work Place in the Republic of Moldova: Theoretical and Practical Approaches)

<b>English Abstract:</b> <br>In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Moldova on ensuring equality, an act can be considered mobbing at the workplace only when it involves discrimination. However, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Republic of Moldova, professional dignity must be protected from any manifestations of mobbing, whether or not it involves discrimination. In cases where professional dignity harmed as a result of non-discrimination mobbing, there is the opportunity to protect this social value in other ways (for example, by applying disciplinary sanctions provided for by art. 206 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Moldova, by art. 58 of the Law of the Republic of Moldova on public office and public servant status, etc.). It is unlikely that such methods can in all cases ensure the expected preventive and dissuasive effect.
