Abstract

Moral harassment is likely to occur in all directions in the pyramid of human and social relations, being more common to occur from the highest level to the lowest level. It is considered very serious and has great potential to cause negative consequences, both for the harassed victim and for the institution where the harassment occurs. Victims usually do not comment or formalize the attacks, fearing the repercussions and what it entails, in addition to the fear of being coerced by the aggressor and other people, in this research the Teacher-Student relationship was considered in the context of the Veterinary Medicine course at UFPB, with The objective of investigating the perception of students and former students of the course, individuals who experienced experiences in different chronological times, regarding the occurrence of moral harassment in the academic environment. The data analyzed comes from responses created in a form on the Google Forms platform online, where 140 people responded voluntarily and anonymously. Based on the answers, obtained according to their perceptions, the participants suggest the lack of preparation of the institution's managers in relation to moral harassment, as a result of the failure to receive incidents and take measures to combat harassment and punish the aggressors, thus preventing, the cessation of this violence.
