Özet:

 Workplace mobbing psychological harassment is a phenomenon that is difficult to prove due to its systematic and covert nature but has devastating effects on the victims. The biggest problem in legal proceedings is the difficulty for victims to provide evidence and how the burden of proof will be allocated. Although mobbing in Turkey is addressed by legal regulations such as the Code of Obligations, Labour Law and Civil Servants Law, judicial decisions emphasise the need to facilitate the proof of this phenomenon in favour of the victim. While the jurisprudence of the Court of Cassation and the Council of State has developed in the direction of accepting circumstantial evidence and increasing the burden of proof of the employer, uncertainties regarding the applicability of the existing legislation and the protection of the victims continue. The aim of this study is to discuss how the justice mechanism responds to this phenomenon by evaluating the legal nature of mobbing and the problems in the proof process within the framework of judicial decisions. In addition, by providing a comparative perspective with different legal systems, it evaluates the development of the legal framework regarding the burden of proof and evidence evaluation processes in mobbing cases in Turkey.

 İşyerinde mobbing psikolojik taciz, sistematik ve örtük doğası nedeniyle ispatı zor ancak mağdurlar üzerinde yıkıcı etkiler bırakan bir olgudur. Hukuki süreçlerde en büyük sorun, mağdurların delil sunma zorlukları ve ispat yükünün nasıl paylaştırılacağıdır. Türkiyede mobbing Borçlar Kanunu, İş Kanunu ve Devlet Memurları Kanunu gibi yasal düzenlemelerle ele alınsa da yargı kararları bu olgunun ispatında mağdur lehine kolaylık sağlanması gerekliliğini vur-gulamaktadır. Yargıtay ve Danıştay içtihatları, dolaylı delillerin kabulü ve işve-renin ispat yükünün artırılması yönünde gelişirken, mevcut mevzuatın uygulanabilirliği ve mağdurların korunması konusundaki belirsizlikler devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yargı kararları çerçevesinde mobbingin hukuki niteliğini ve ispat sürecindeki sorunları değerlendirerek, adalet mekanizmasının bu olguya nasıl yanıt verdiğini tartışmaya açmaktır. Ayrıca, farklı hukuk sistemleriyle karşılaştırmalı bir bakış sunarak, Türkiyede mobbing davalarındaki ispat yükü ve delil değerlendirme süreçlerine ilişkin hukuki çerçevenin geliştirilmesi-ne yönelik değerlendirmeler yapmaktır.
