Educator-Peer Workplace Bullying: Why Leadership Must Address Incivility and Create a Quilt of Caring in the School
Gray, Nancy L.; Gardiner, Mary E.
Journal of School Leadership, v23 n5 823-845 Sep 2013
The purpose of the study was to examine educator-peer social relationships within the context of the organization and to consider the role of the school administrator in establishing collegial and caring relationships. The study was a critical collective case study of six educators--administrators and teachers--in U.S. schools. Through interviews, participants reflected on their experiences with educator-peer social relationships. The study found that all participants had experienced a range of positive and negative peer-social relationships, including incivility and incidents of educator-peer bullying. The article concludes with considerations for principals regarding antibullying in the workplace and recommendations for further research.
