Abstract
This research study was conducted to determine the relation between the level of burnout and the level of exposure to mobbing. The population of the research composed of 1,153 secondary school teachers working in Siirt city center in 2014– 2015 academic year. As the number of teachers included in the research population is not high, sampling was not made and 354 of the distributed scales were analysed. In this study, ‘Negative Acts Questionnaire’ Scale was used to measure the frequency of teachers’ exposure to mobbing behaviours and to determine the teachers’ burnout levels, ‘Maslach Burnout Inventory’ (Educators Survey) was used. The results showed that teachers are exposed to negative behaviours under the sub-dimensions of ‘work-related mobbing’ and ‘mobbing directed at social relations’ at ‘occasional’ level. With regard to the burnout levels of the secondary school teachers, the highest value is observed in ‘emotional exhaustion’ sub-dimension, while the lowest is in ‘depersonalisation’; and the personal accomplishment is at a moderate level.
