The article presents the results of the study which aimed to examine the impact of exposure to cybermobbing on employees' mental health. It was assumed that experiencing cybermobbing at work would lead to a deterioration of the respondents' mental condition. The study was conducted in a longitudinal paradigm with two measurements and with the participation of 500 white-collar workers employed in Poland. The results obtained did not confirm the initial hypothesis. It turned out that – contrary to the assumption – poorer psychological well-being of employees increases the risk of experiencing cybermobbing in the workplace. Since, as research has shown, individual differences (i.e. mental health status) can affect the functioning of individuals in organizations and thus make individuals more predisposed to experiencing cybermobbing, it is important that interventions undertaken to deal with it negative phenomenon, they took into account the diverse needs of employees.

Since the 1990s, research has been conducted to identify the causes of entering into violent relationships at work. The correlates of intra-organisational aggression, bullying, psychological and sexual harassment at work are being studied. In doing so, the attention of researchers focuses primarily on the organisational and social factors that may favour the occurrence of these phenomena. In recent years, however, increasing attention has been paid to individual differences that may predispose employees to become embroiled in violence at work. The article presents considerations on the role of beliefs and patterns in the development of mobbing in the above-mentioned context.
