Analysis of Primary School Teachers ’ Opinions About The Mobbing Concept

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the dimensions of the mobbing phenomenon in primary schools and to determine what kind of a problem this phenomenon poses for primary school teachers and what solutions are offered. Therefore, phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research designs, was preferred in the study. The research was carried out with 8 primary school teachers working in Aydın in the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. Participants were determined in regard to criterion sampling methods, one of the purposive sampling methods. A semi-structured interview form consisting of 9 open-ended questions were used to gather data. As a result of the interviews with the participants, a total of 57 pages of raw data were gathered and the data were analyzed through content analysis method. Findings were aimed to be explained within the scope of 6 themes that emerged in line with the data gathered. With reference to the results, the participants have been rarely confronted with mobbing throughout their working life, the mobbing behaviours were imposed by the people relatively in line with their position mostly in a top down hierarchical order. Effects of the mobbing phenomenon were negatively reflected not only on the victim side but also on the victim's family, environment, and the institution they worked for. It was determined that the participants mostly preferred to find more individual solutions.
