An Examination of Adult Bullying in the K-12 Workplace: Implications for School Leaders
Kleinheksel, Cynthia J.; Geisel, Richard T.
School Leadership Review, v14 n1 Article 7 2019
The issue of bullying in K-12 schools usually brings images of students to mind, but a recent quantitative study of a sample from K-12 school personnel in Michigan showed that 27.8% of adults in the K-12 workplace consider themselves the target of an adult bully. This study calls for school leadership to recognize and proactively address the issue of workplace bullying in K-12 schools through policy, procedures, training, prevention, enforcement, and positive resolution to provide a safe, non-threatening environment in which to work and learn.
