Organizational Trust of Mobbing Victims: A Study of Turkish Teachers

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between mobbing behaviour faced by high schools teachers and their organizational trust. The study was based on the survey model. 418 teachers from five different prefectures in the province of Ankara participated in the survey. The NAQ negative acts scale and organizational trust scale were used to collect the survey data. Frequency, t-test, ANOVA, and regression analyses were employed in the analysis of the data. Following the survey, it was found that the level of mobbing faced by teachers was low and their level of organizational trust was high. Significant differences by type of school were found in both variables. In addition, a medium-level negative relationship was also identified between mobbing experienced in schools and organizational trust.
