Studies clearly show that workplace psycho-terror has a significant negative impact on individuals, organisations, and the economy. Early intervention is essential to prevent further suffering and protect the interests of companies. Currently, there is no national research to accurately determine the costs of workplace psycho-terror for those who suffer from it. One means of prevention could be to include effective conflict management in the training curriculum. Overall, workplace psycho-terrorism is a serious problem, and its recognition, prevention, and effective management are essential to maintain competitiveness and sustainable economic growth.

Keywords: mobbing, competitiveness, economic impact, motivation, generational and gender differences
