"In this article, the author presents a theoretical aspect of the definition of mobbing – sometimes called bullying – as a phenomenon related to the modern business organisation. Mobbing is a specific form of behaviour in the workplace where a supervisor, or colleagues, mistreat and humiliate another person in order to undermine his or her reputation and dignity. This ultimately poses a threat both to the mental and the physical health of the victim. Practice has shown that mobbing may also take place in the opposite direction, i.e. when employees abuse their supervisors. Today, we talk about mobbing with a lack of understanding of this complex phenomenon and regardless of its large workplace presence in its various forms including, among others, sexual harassment, ridicule and threats. The problems caused by, and the methods of the elimination of mobbing at work, together with discrimination as a cause of mobbing, can be solved only with knowledge and understanding of the theoretical aspects, while applying an interdisciplinary approach.

"This wide-ranging article takes a theoretical look at the implications of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) virus for the concept of the securitisation of a state, encompassing the debate about whether social security occupies a place within securitisation studies. The authors point to, and explore, the concurrent presence of three social phenomena with global effects: digitalisation and business automation; securitisation of the systems of health and social protection; and the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic with all its disruptive potential. They also consider closely how these phenomena relate to the already-troubled social position in the Republic of Serbia, alluding also to the deliberate use of the concept of securitisation to convince the population of the need to take drastic safeguarding steps, including the announcement of a state of emergency. The authors conclude broadly on the implications that Covid-19 has for socio-economic development, that social security does play a role within securitisation and, with a sharp prod to nationalisms as a response to the virus, that global problems and risks require global solutions."
