Mobbing could be called the new catastrophic disease that is oppressing humanity in its different work areas and whose consequences range from leaving work to achieve liberation to the presentation of a psychosomatic condition that triggers a more serious disease, in this case, in this context, the present study determined its incidence in teachers of higher education institutions in the province of Manabí. The methodology was based on a quantitative approach, the inventory of violence and psychological harassment was used, at work by assessing 22 aspects related to mobbing, it was applied to a sample of 263 teachers. As a result, this presence was obtained in its various forms, predominating the spread of malicious rumors in the work environment and unfounded perverse criticism that affects an average of the teaching staff equivalent to 42%, exercised mainly by the authorities, colleagues and immediate bosses, In addition, the presence of this problem in higher education institutions is evident, with the predominance of the female gender as a relevant point, although one of the most frequent ways is labor criticism, what needs to be addressed is the cause of this negative value.
