The article considers the legal nature of local legal acts, their place in the hierarchy of sources of law and the difference from normative legal acts. The article analyses the problems arising in the regulation of labour relations, in particular, the order of familiarization with the local document, the issues of video and audio recording by the employer of the activity of the employee, as well as the recent appearance of such a concept as «mobbing».

The relevance of the study is due to the high prevalence and destructive impact of mobbing on the psychological well-being of employees and the effectiveness of organizations. The need to develop reliable tools for its diagnosis and prevention remains a priority for modern organizational psychology. The paper provides a systematic historical and methodological analysis, which for the first time compares the ways of formation and development of research tools for studying mobbing in the foreign and domestic scientific tradition. As a result of the conducted research, the key vectors of the evolution of the concept of mobbing have been identified – from the description of interpersonal aggression to understanding it as a systemic organizational phenomenon. Methodological gaps in domestic research related to the lack of an adapted diagnostic apparatus have been identified. Ways to overcome them are outlined through the integration of international experience and the development of contextually oriented methods. The results obtained have practical significance for such areas as organizational counseling, personnel management and the creation of a psychologically safe working environment.
