The objective of this study is te examine the relationship between employees’ perceptions for workplace mobbing and job satisfaction by an applied research in a wheel manufacturer firm. A survey questionnaire was designed and used in this study. A total of 95 completed questionnaires were returned, representing a response rate of 95%. The study results indicate that there was a negative relationship between employees’ (downward and horizontal) workplace mobbing perceptions and job satisfaction. About 16.7% of the variance in employee job satisfaction could be axplained by the independent variables of downward mobbing and horizontal mobbing (Adjusted R²). Horizontal mobbing had the strongest impact on employee job satisfaction, and followed by downward mobbing. As a result, employee job satisfaction could be increased through eliminating workplace mobbing.
