“…An examination of findings related to this sub-problem indicates that tendency to ignore their ideas and opinions, keeping information that would affect their performance from them, and being humiliated by being assigned to works beneath their competence are negative behaviors that teachers face more frequently than others. The findings of this study are parallel to those of studies conducted by Cemaloğlu, (2007b), Cemaloğlu and Kılınç (2012), Dick and Wagner (2001), Ertürk (2011), andSağlam (2008). Mobbing behaviors witnessed in educational institutions are generally directed to teachers' careers and mobbing behaviors that could harm personality and ego have a lower incidence rate, which is consistent with ethical expectations related to educational organizations because they regard ethics from the standpoint of education professionals as an ethical responsibility that they should fulfill in both their professional life at school and personal life (Furman, 2004;cited from Uğurlu, 2012).…”

“…Research conducted in educational organizations indicated that an overwhelming majority of teachers were exposed to at least one type of mobbing behavior and that 99.6 % of them were exposed to mobbing behaviors during their career (Aksu and Balcı, 2009;Blase and Blase, 2002;Cemaloğlu, 2007a;Cemaloğlu, 2007b;Hubert and Veldhoven, 2001;Riley, Duncan and Edwards, 2009). …”

The purpose of this study was to identify school administrators' humor behaviors as perceived by teachers and to determine the relationships between the school administrators' perceived humor behavior and mobbing experienced by teachers. Data was obtained from 459 teachers chosen by systematic sampling. Results indicated that teachers described negative attitudes mostly encountered as "refusal to take their ideas and opinions into consideration," "hiding information that would affect their performance from them", and "humiliation suffered as a result of being assigned to works below the level of their competence." Teachers believed that school administrators generally had "Appreciative humor" and "productive-social humor" attitudes. While there was a negative and significant relationship between positive humor behaviors and mobbing, there were also positive and significant relationships between negative humor behaviors and mobbing. Sarcastic humor and rejective humor were the significant predictors of mobbing.

“…This may be interpreted in several ways. One explanation would be that teachers witnessed harassment among pupils or other staff (23). Another would be that larger group of teachers witnessed harassment that happened to one person or a narrow group.…”

Aim To develop a questionnaire on harassment in the workplace among teachers at primary and secondary schools.Methods We analyzed the existing questionnaires on harassment in the workplace and developed a new one was to specifically address harassment of teachers in the public education sector. The questionnaire was then experimentally applied to a sample of 764 primary and secondary school teachers in Split Dalmatia County, Croatia. It included three scales -exposure to harassment, witnessing harassment, and disturbance by harassment. Validity of the three scales was examined by factor analysis.Results All three scales showed satisfactory metric characteristics: Cronbach α coefficient was 0.93 for exposure scale, 0.95 for witnessing scale, and 0.97 for disturbance scale. Out of 764 teachers surveyed, 164 (22.4%) were exposed to and 192 (31.7%) witnessed different kinds of harassment in the previous 12 months. There were significantly more of those who experienced harassment as witnesses (χ 2 1 = 249.301; P < 0.001) than as direct victims. Eighty-six teachers (11.5%) reported having psychological and 76 (10.1%) physical health problems caused by their work. Exclusion as a consequence of harassment disturbed women more than men (χ 2 1 = 5.27; P = 0.022). Those who were exposed to harassment had significantly lower median age (42; range 23-68) than those who were not exposed (45; range 23-65) (U = 31401.50; z = 2.129; P = 0.033). ConclusionThe questionnaire registered wide spectrum of harassment types, indicating the need for continuous monitoring and systematic work on the prevention of these phenomena. The study showed that exposure to harassment is associated with age, indicating that younger teachers should be the target population for detection and prevention of workplace harassment.

Mediator role of depression on the relationship between mobbing and life satisfaction of health professionalsObjective: While an individual has both material and spiritual gains at workplace s/he might also be strained because of different stress factors. In some cases, tension results from mobbing. In the present study, it is aimed to identify the mediator role of depression on the relationship between mobbing at workplace and life satisfaction of health professionals. Method: Two hundred and forty-four health personnel who have been working for at least 6 months at the hospitals of a medium-sized city in the middle part of Turkey were given Negative Actions Questionnaire (NAQ), Back Depression Inventory (BDI) and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Data were analyzed by using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis, simple and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: At the first step of the analysis in the mediator role of depression on the relationship between exposure to mobbing and life satisfaction, it was found that exposure to mobbing significantly predicted a negative relation to life satisfaction, and that it significantly predicted a positive relation to depression. Moreover, it was observed that depression significantly predicted life satisfaction and that depression has partly mediated the relationship between mobbing and life satisfaction. This result shows that mobbing, both directly and indirectly through depression has negative effect on life satisfaction. Conclusion: Exposure to mobbing at workplace among health professionals leads depression and, this results in negative evaluation of one's life quality. If we consider this result with respect to the individual and health service, we can argue that individual's life satisfaction decreases, his/her job performance declines, and the person feels boredom and reluctance to his/her job, and efficiency of the health institution decreases. Thus, seminars can be organized to increase the awareness of the victim, other workers and manager related to the problem of mobbing and victims can be acquired skills to cope with mobbing. Key words: Depression, life satisfaction, mobbing ÖZET Sağlık çalışanlarında iş yerinde mobbing ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide depresyonun aracı rolüAmaç: Birey, iş yaşamında maddi-manevi kazanç elde ederken aynı zamanda çeşitli stres faktörleri nedeniyle gerginlik yaşayabilmektedir. Bazı durumlarda gerginlik, yıldırmanın (mobbing) sonucu olarak ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada sağlık çalışanlarının iş yerinde yıldırmaya maruz kalma düzeyleri ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide depresyonun aracı rolünü ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.
