Occupational stress has increased in Japanese workers because of changes in working environments and systems, such as organizational restructuring, or decreased consideration for others in the workpla...ce. Workplace bullying, mobbing and/or harassment have received considerable attention in Japan in recent years. Particularly, workplace harassment, including so-called "power harassment" in Japanese, is a serious occupational problem for workers, especially for those who are in a weak position. The concept of power harassment is extended in consideration of complicated and increased number of sufferers. In 2011, Japan Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare sponsored a round-table meeting to investigate the current state of power harassment at work and discuss how to cope with the situation.
