A virtualização do assédio moral e sexual no ambiente de trabalho.

Abstract

The virtualization of moral and sexual harassment in the workplace has become a major concern due to its rapid spread, as it has been intensified by the rapid interactions and easy access to aggressors. The study aims to analyze how the evolution of the Internet has impacted the workplace, giving rise to new forms of harassment, that is, the migration of these crimes from the physical to the virtual environment, causing harm to their victims. To date, there is no specific legislation on the subject, which makes it more difficult to characterize and punish such acts, since there are also no studies on the impressions of potential or real victims of this type of conduct. The research proposes a criminological and labor procedural analysis of the consequences in the lives of victims of these crimes, whether there are practical changes in their lives and what would be the underlying mechanisms that drive virtual mmoral and sexual harassment in the workplace and how companies can effectively mitigate this phenomenon. The hypothetical-deductive research method was used to identify the factors that contribute to this phenomenon, explaining why this particular occurrence occurs. Therefore, bibliographical and qualitative research was necessary.
