ENThe article discusses the phenomenon of bullying and harassment in the society, revealing it through the expression of antisocial behaviours of individuals. By highlighting the impact of such behaviours on people in social interactions, the study analyses what socioeconomic aspects can be seen as the effects of harassment and bullying as well as their impact on the well-being of individuals and the society. Given the growing impact on the national economy and the health of the population, the sports sector has been selected for deeper analysis. The aim of this research was to analyse the socio economic aspects of bullying and harassment. To achieve this, research that tries to calculate the socio-economic damage caused by bullying and harassment as antisocial behaviour is firstly analysed; secondly, research evaluating the socioeconomic aspects of bulling and harassment in sport sector is studied. Research method in this article was literature review involving analysis and synthesis of scientific literature. The analysis performed revealed that the phenomenon of bullying and harassment can be seen in terms of various socio-economic aspects as well. These aspects manifest themselves both at the micro-individual or organizational levels, and at the macro-societal level, and lead to a number of social or economic problems. However, there is a tendency observed that, with quite clearly highlighted social consequences of bullying and harassment, cost estimation remains difficult, especially considering the tolerated aggression in sports sector and unconditional competition, which requires a clear ethical framework between abusive and fair play. The article proposes criteria on the basis of which the social and economic harm of bullying and harassment could be considered and evaluated in a complex way. [From the publication]
