Abstract: Introduction: Mobbing has been studied in Bolivia, but its recognition in the workplace is limited. Resilience is related to social and economic crises. Objective: To determine the relationship between sociodemographic factors, resilience, and mobbing among teachers in La Paz, Bolivia, in 2023. Method: Quantitative approach, non-experimental and descriptive-correlational scope. A total of 385 primary and secondary education teachers participated. The IVAPT and SV-RES resilience scales were used. Statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, Pearson's χ², and Spearman's correlation were employed for data analysis. Results: 73.51% of participants reported a high incidence of psychological violence, while 9.35% did not experience harassment. 49.35% are at an average level of resilience, with 26.49% at a low level and 24.16% at a high level. Regarding resilient response, 46.23% are average, 30.39% are low, and 23.38% are high. 67.19% of those experiencing less mobbing have an average resilient response, and 44.96% with average resilience report high levels of mobbing. Conclusions:The research emphasizes the importance of addressing mobbing from a multidimensional perspective, considering the individual and contextual characteristics of employees.
