| dc.description.abstract | Moral Harassment (MH) is a systematic and persistent psychological violence that affects the integrity of the subjects, crossed in the culture of postmodernity. It is an interpersonal, organizational and social phenomenon, permeated by abusive and subjection power relations, generating illness. In the public service, it has high incidence and severity, which is intensified by the type of management. This dissertation aimed to understand the experiences of pleasure-suffering in workers who are victims of MH in the Judiciary Labor Court, considering the institutional characteristics and their consequences on mental health. It has a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach, with a semi-structured interview for the data collection. The participants were eight servants of the Labor Judiciary. The data were treated through the content analysis of Bardin, based on Work Psychodynamics and Clinical Sociology. The results pointed to institutional characteristics based on: ethics of servitude, overload, individualism, institutional control and silenced violence. The use of individual and collective defensive strategies were observed. There were evidenced: pathogenic suffering, illness of the servants and of the organization, signaling distress, depression, pathology of loneliness and banalization of injustice. There were no referrals from the site to the harassed, nor were policies for the prevention and combat of the MH, what corroborates to its aggravation. | en |
