Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cases of abuse of public and private school employees. Also, private and public school staff are to identify the differences between schools by comparing each other. This research is designed according to the quality research methods. The examples of the study are made up of teachers working in schools located in Ankara or Mamak district (10 private schools, 10 state schools). During the research process, the data was obtained through semi-built conversations. According to the data obtained, in the first question examined the harassment behaviors against teachers, it was found that the common opinions of the teachers of the state school were in the form of misconducting the curriculum and keeping the behavior under control. The private school teachers have told that the lesson programs are not properly performed, more than necessary, harsh workload and the threat of dismissal have experienced more of the harsh behaviors. When the findings on the reasons why teachers are exposed to harassment have been examined, it has been shown that reasons such as the government schools want to cover their inadequacy, not behave like educators, and that decisions are always asked to be taken by administrators. In private schools, problems such as the absence of employment security (s syndicates), the fear of not finding a job, the desire of administrators to cover their inability, the lack of behavior as educators, the overtake of legal rights, legal vacas, personal opinions, and administrative caprices are seen to be in the forefront. Given the data obtained on teachers’ methods of dealing with harassment, it appears that in public schools methods such as calling for appointment, changing workplace, finding the middle path with school administration, trying to get well, neglect, staying silent, giving approval are preferred. As the methods of dealing with in private schools, it appears to be ranked in the form of finding the middle path with school management, trying to get well, ignoring, staying silent, giving approval and doing all things without questioning.
