Abstract:

Main aim of this study is to examine the relationship between mobbing perception of the secondary school teachers and their emotional exhaustion. For this purpose, data were obtained from 256 teachers working at secondary schools located in the city center of Elazığ by Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). According to data derived from the research, teachers’ mobbing perception and emotional exhaustions were not significantly different in respect of gender variable. On the other hand, young teachers are less exposed to mobbing compared to middle aged and elderly teachers and go through emotional exhaustion to a lesser degree. As a result of correlation and regression analysis, a high level of relationship has been identified between teachers’ perception of mobbing and their emotional exhaustion.
