Abstract

This dissertation had as problem research to analyze the social and legal construction of bullying at work, in front of the social theory of reflexive modernity, through analysis of judgments of the Regional Labor Court of Rio Grande do Sul (4th District). The goal was to investigate the social changes that happened during the modernity and became like acceptable acts in an earlier historical moment, in immoral actions on radical modernity, resulting in a social demand over the state participation in the enforcement of their rights. In this work, the literature review was used with an emphasis on social theory of reflexive modernization, proposed by the authors Anthony Giddens, Scott Lash and Ulrich Beck, although other authors were appropriate for the analysis. Empirically, it was examined all 9.858 decisions of the Regional Labor Court of Rio Grande do Sul (4th District), since the pioneer in 2001 until the end of the survey, in December 2014, being distributed between 55 (fifty-five) evaluated gauchos municipalities. Front of the decision’s rate by the municipality, it was performed a correlation with 90 (ninety) municipal socioeconomic indicators, to evaluate issues related to education, work, living conditions and health, income and access to information and communications. The objective was to analyze the social changes in a radically reflexive modernity, which was originated litigation by usual situations in labor relations in the recent historical period, empirically demonstrating these transformations.
