Globalization has empowered organizations to spread out. There have been cases where employees were aggressive towards each other. These aggressive tendencies have been referred to as workplace harassment. The different forms of workplace harassment can be easily found in literature, to name a few: discriminatory harassment, physical harassment, sexual harassment, mental harassment, and many more. Mental harassment is where the mental well-being of the employee gets impacted. It has been observed that these harassment actions have worse consequences on employees and organizations. The present paper would focus on mental harassment, its roots, and its impact on employees. Also would try to construct a systematic review and will present conclusions regarding techniques that can be used to combat mental harassment in the workplace.
