Workplace Bullying in Schools: Teachers' Perceptions of Why They Were Mistreated
Educational Forum, v82 n4 p390-405 2018
This article explores teachers' perceptions of why their administrators bullied them. Data sources included surveys collected from 250 teachers and interviews with 26 teachers. Survey data indicated the main reasons teachers felt bullied were: their age, their association with a teacher union, and their behaviors. Qualitative results showed teachers felt their administrators bullied them out of jealousy, power, because a previous administrator hired them, teacher traits, and differences in teaching styles.
