With the analysis of the data it was identified a good knowledge of the academics on the subject. The number of cases of moral harassment that occurred was significant compared to the total sample, whereas sexual harassment occurs to a lesser extent. The method used for the development of the research is descriptive, with the purpose of recording and analyzing data, using questionnaires as a primary source and studies related to the topic as a secondary source. At the end of the work, it was concluded that harassment is still a present evil in the work environment and that the lack of denunciation on the part of the harassed remains a factor that contributes to the harassment to continue happening.
