The Relationship between Teachers' Mobbing Experiences, Organizational Silence, and Organizational Cynicism
International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, v10 n4 p860-874 2023
This research aimed to determine the relationship between teachers' mobbing experiences, organizational cynicism, and organizational silence. The research population consisted of 33,286 teachers working in public primary education institutions in the central districts of Ankara. The sample was determined using a multistage sampling method. A total of 403 teachers in 40 schools were selected using a stratified sampling method in the first stage and a simple random sampling method in the second stage. The Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ), Organizational Silence Scale (OSS), and Organizational Cynicism Scale (OCS) were used as data collection tools in the research. The results revealed that teachers were more exposed to negative treatment such as withholding information that affects performance, mocking, and teasing. Teachers exhibited silence behaviors mostly in the "administrative" dimension and, at least, in the "organizational culture" dimension. Teachers displayed fewer organizational silence behaviors. Teachers experienced mostly "behavioral" cynicism and the least "affective" cynicism. Teachers also displayed a low level of organizational cynicism. It was concluded that as teachers' mobbing levels rose, their level of organizational silence and cynicism increased.
