Purpose - Discrimination is an individual’s exposure to unfair behaviors due to some factors such as gender, age, race, income and social status. The perception of gender-based discrimination was evaluated from the perspective of European Union and Turkey and it was aimed to explain the relationship between the perception of gender-based discrimination and mobbing in this study.
Methodology - In this study, a survey was conducted to the academicians working at Afyon Kocatepe University. For the validity and reliability of the survey Structural Equation Model was tested with SPSS 16 and AMOS 19 programmes and the hypotheses were tested by AMOS 19 programme. In the study analyzed whether the perception of gender discrimination increased the emotional violence in workplaces or not, in other words its relation with mobbing.
Findings- According to the outputs of Structural Equation Model, the presence of the effect of the perception of hostile gender discrimination was identified; however, it was revealed that the perception of benevolent gender discrimination had no effect on mobbing.
Conclusion- In the studies to decrease the perception of gender discrimination in society should be conducted in order to prevent the incidence of mobbing. The most important step to take for EU countries and Turkey about mobbing is to legislate in this field. Legal practices and sanctions to prevent mobbing should be implemented. It is also important to create awareness in the society in this issue. This awareness should be supported by mass media to enchance the awareness.
