“…In this study, education workers reported a higher prevalence of nonphysical WPV events (28.9%) than physical WPV events (7.8%) . Our results align with those of the Minnesota Educator Study, which researchers found 38.8% of teachers experienced a nonphysical WPV event and 7.8% experienced a physical WPV event . Furthermore, similar to the Minnesota Educator Study, the most common forms of victimization in Pennsylvania were verbal abuse and threats.…”

“…In the current study, education workers who experienced at least one nonphysical WPV event were more likely to report dissatisfaction with their jobs and having poor physical health and mental health. The consequences of nonphysical WPV have been shown to be more deleterious than physical violence for producing stress and causing post‐traumatic stress disorder that can impact teachers in restricting or modifying their work and leaving their jobs or transferring to other schools or districts …”

“…Among teachers, nonphysical WPV events, such as threats and verbal abuse are more common than physical violence events, such as assaults. In a study of Minnesota kindergarten through grade 12 (K‐12) educators, researchers reported 38.8% of teachers had experienced nonphysical WPV events and 7.8% had experienced physical WPV events during one school year . In a recent U.S national survey of representative schools and staffing, 10% of K‐12 public school teachers reported being threatened and 6% reported being physically attacked by a student during the 2015‐2016 school year .…”

BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence, identify risk factors, and assess the impact of nonphysical workplace violence (WPV) events among education workers (teachers, professionals, and support personnel). METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was mailed to a random sample of 6450 education workers, stratified by sex, occupation, and school location in Pennsylvania. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess risk factors. RESULTS:Of the 2514 participants, 859 (34%) reported experiencing at least one nonphysical WPV event during the 2009-2010 school year. Coworkers were the most common source of bullying. Most education workers responded that they did not receive an adequate response from their administration after reporting a nonphysical WPV event. Risks of nonphysical assaults increased for education workers who were female, those working in an urban school, and those in their first 3 years of working in their current school. Those assaulted were significantly likely to have low job satisfaction, find work more stressful, and have poor mental health compared to those were not assaulted. CONCLUSIONS:Administration support for specific prevention efforts and post-event responses that address the risk factors for nonphysical WPV are essential for creating a positive, safe work environment in schools.

“…It also showed that prevalence rates were highest for nonphysical victimization, but even for physical aggression, rates were concerning. Consistent with multistate studies, studies in Minnesota (Wei et al, 2013), Pennsylvania (Tiesman, Konda, Hendricks, Mercer, & Amadus, 2013), and Virginia (Gregory, Cornell, & Fan, 2012) have shown that students' verbal abuse and threats against teachers are the most common types of teacher victimization, and students' physical assaults of teachers are relatively less frequent. This 48-state study of 2,998 K-12 teachers in a heterogeneous sample of locations revealed that almost all teachers who reported victimization named a student as the perpetrator, almost 75% experienced some type of harassment (i.e., obscene remarks, obscene gestures, verbal threats, intimidation, and victimization through the Internet), over 50% experienced a property offense, and 44% experienced physical attacks.…”

Prior research indicates that student aggression against teachers is widespread, and it has negative impacts on victimized teachers' emotional and physical well-being and job performance. However, little is known about the relationship between the recency and duration of victimization and teachers' thoughts about quitting the teaching profession and related job dissatisfaction and disconnectedness to school.Analyses of data from a longitudinal study of 1,236 US teachers fills these gaps. The study found that many teachers experienced theft/vandalism and sexual harassment victimization that was limited to just 1 year. In contrast, sizeable proportions of teachers experienced verbal abuse and nonphysical contact aggression that occurred over 2 years. Multiple regression analyses showed that teachers who reported recent or multiyear victimization had lower levels of connectedness to school, less job satisfaction, and more thoughts about ending their teaching careers. These results may indicate that unless victimization recurs, negative effects of victimization are contemporaneous and are less likely to persist. Additional research is needed to examine victimization over longer than 2 years, investigate the effects of the frequency of different types of aggression against teachers, and identify school policies and interventions that weaken the connection of victimization to negative outcomes.

“…Претходна истраживања показују да су неке карактеристике наставника повезане са виктимизацијом, али налази нису сагласни. Према неким ауторима, виктимизација је генерално присутнија код наставника мушког пола (Lokmić et al, 2013;McMahon et al, 2014;Moon & McCluskey, 2016), док други аутори извештавају да су наставници женског пола угроженији (Mooij, 2011;Wei et al, 2013) или да нема значајних полних разлика у виктимизацији (Bounds & Jenkins, 2016;Cemaloglu, 2007). На основу расположивих емпиријских података тешко је закључити да ли су насилном понашању ученика изложенији млађи наставници (Lokmić et al, 2013;Mooij, 2011;Russo et al, 2008), најмлађи и најстарији наставници (Wei et al, 2013) или наставници средњих година (Tiesman, Hendricks, Konda, & Hartley, 2014).…”

Изложеност наставника насиљу је релативно ново подручје научног проучавања, те располажемо ограниченим информацијама о обиму и природи овог проблема, посебно у нашој земљи. У овом раду презентовани су резултати истраживања о учесталости и карактеристикама насилног понашања ученика према наставницима у нашим школама. Узорак чине 564 наставника средњих школа из целе Србије. За процену виктимизације наставника коришћен је упитник Радне групе за насиље у учионици усмерено према наставницима Америчког удружења психолога (APA Classroom Violence Directed Against Teachers Task Force). Резултати истраживања показују да је током претходне школске године скоро 80 одсто наставника доживело насилно понашањe ученика, најчешће у виду непристојних речи или гестова. Виктимизација је значајно повезана са полом, старошћу и дужином радног стажа наставника. Такође су откривене значајне везе виктимизације наставника са врстом, величином и локацијом школе. Добијени налази о преваленцији и факторима виктимизације наставника могу имати значајне импликације за будућа истраживања и праксу. виктимизација, наставници, насиље, фактори ризика, школа. 1 Рад је настао као резултат истраживања на пројектима "Социјална партиципација особа са интелектуалном ометеношћу" (Бр. 179017) и "Криминал у Србији: феноменологија, ризици и могућности социјалне интервенције" (Бр. 47011), које финансира Министарство просвете, науке и технолошког развоја Републике Србије.
