Victimized Online: Impact on Teachers’ Work Stress, Job Inefficacy, and Turnover Intentions
Abstract
The present research explores the occurrence of cyberbullying victimization among teachers by both students and their parents and assesses its consequences. The results indicate that 15.4% of teachers reported experiencing cyberbullying victimization by students and/or parents. The examination of the impact of cyberbullying on multiple outcomes shows a concerning pattern: victimized teachers are more likely to experience higher levels of work-related stress, diminished job effectiveness, and increased intent to leave their teaching career. There is a pressing need for school administrators to recognize the severity of the issue and suggestions for policies and intervention strategies are considered.
