| Comment | I thought this was merely a variant of 幕開き and have just found some support for that idea here:
http://www.nhk.or.jp/a-room/kininaru/2006/10/1019.html So, i think it should be cross-referenced to the entry for 幕開き - could you add a field for such a cross-reference exactly as it exists in the "new entry/amendment" form? Or can the two entries be combined? |

| English 4 | psychological harassment at the workplace |
| Reference | The previously mentioned Ishigaki City Bylaw on the Promotion of Gender Equality (June 1, 2009) - here we find the followinfg definition: モラルハラスメント 言葉や態度、身振りや文書などによって、働く人間の人格や尊厳を傷つけたり、身体的、精神的に傷を負わせて、その人間が職場を辞めざるを得ない状況に追い込んだり、職場の雰囲気を悪化させることをいう。

| Comment | It appears that "moral harassment" is distinguished from "power harassment" by the fact that the harasser is not in a defined or structurally founded position of power (i.e., a superior) but any individual or group at the workplace that engages in such behaviour.
