The study allowed us to understand that moral harassment causes serious damage to the health of the worker, mainly to psychic health, having as consequences stress, anxiety and depression, with the manifestation of psychosomatic disorders - –hich implies in emergency measures to be taken by the workers. companies to prevent the occurrence of such manifestations.
