Workplace Bullying of K-12 Educators: Mental Health Services and Policy Considerations

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 05

Abstract

Bullying behaviors in the workplace are marked by repeated events of intimidation that create a pattern of humiliation and fear in the victim. School staff in K-12 schools are not immune to bullying behavior by other adults in the organization. Educators experience personal and professional repercussions when confronted with bullying experiences by other educators or educational administrators. This qualitative study demonstrates the breadth of the issue and emphasizes the roles of a school psychologist, school social worker, and human resource personnel in the wake of the potential ethical challenges that present when a staff member reports they are being bullied. Additionally, other involvement remedies include responsible contributions toward incorporation of policies and mental health innovations that will address the adult population in a school or district.
