Abstract:

The main aim of this study is to decipher the relationship between mobbing exposure levels and organizational commitment levels of teachers in sports high schools, and to decipher whether there are significant differences between mobbing exposure levels and organizational commitment levels of teachers.For this purpose, "Mobbing Scale for Teachers" developed by Tanhan and Çan and "Organizational Commitment Scale" developed by Balay were used in this study. In the questionnaire form prepared, besides the scale expressions, questions including socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were also included. The sample group of the study consists of 101 teachers working in sports high schools in Elazığ, Diyarbakır, Muş, Bitlis, Siirt, Van and Tunceli provinces during the 2019-2020 academic year. In the process of obtaining the data set for the study, the survey method was used, and the SPSS 25.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data obtained. As a result of the analysis findings applied; It was determined that teachers' gender, education level, staff status and current working time in the institution caused statistically significant differences in terms of organizational commitment and exposure to mobbing. On the other hand, it was determined that the marital status of the teachers, the age group and the time they spent in their profession did not cause statistically significant differences in terms of their organizational commitment and exposure to mobbing. When the relationship between the levels of exposure to mobbing and organizational commitment of teachers working in sports high schools was examined, it was determined that there were negative significant relationships.
