Paternalist leadership is a model of leadership that demonstrates a rigorous discipline, authority structure, a protective, helpful approach to employees. This study explores the relationship between paternalist leadership, which expresses a close interaction in the form of power-control-compliance in the leadership-working relationship, and the concept of harassment, which is defined as harassment, harassment and aggressive attitudes in the workplace. In this context, a study was carried out in a public institution in Kocaeli. The normality test resulted in the correlation analysis of factors. As a result, there was a negative and weak relationship between paternalist leadership and harassment behaviors.
