Abstract: Abstract The aim of this work was to study the phenomenon of mobbing by adopting a systemic approach. This, in turn, implies a multivariate framework, relying on a structural equation model. In this regard several variables were taken into consideration and their consistence was evaluated through the QMP 1.5 questionnaire. We hypothesized the existence of a difference between victims and non-victims, related to variables like: isolation, exclusion, communication, overload, disheartenment, enthusiasm, and inadequacy. The model obtained in this study evidenced the systemic nature of the interrelations between the different variables: some of them, taken alone or summed together, could not predict the occurrence of mobbing, while this prediction could be based only on their reciprocal relations.
