Mobbing in educational institutions has many negative consequences for the employees and the institution. While mobbing points to a working life where unhappy educators emerge and there is no peace in the educational institution, it also causes social problems. The personal life, family, colleagues, students, school administration and therefore the education system of the teachers, who are most affected by mobbing in educational institutions, are adversely affected by mobbing. This situation, along with the efficiency of the education system and student success, naturally causes the society to be negatively affected in social and economic terms. The aim of this study is to understand the concept of mobbing and its scope, to determine the area of ​​influence, to define the negative behaviors encountered, to reveal their effects and to determine the ways to cope with such behaviors. In order to increase productivity in education, there is a need for a management approach that motivates educators and an organizational climate where they can work in peace. In this context, it is of great importance that teachers who are exposed to mobbing behaviors are protected from mobbing practices that make them feel disabled, excluded and humiliated. In this context, it is necessary to increase the productivity, self-confidence and participation of educators by combating mobbing, and to eliminate their psychological and social problems. In this way, positive changes can be experienced not only in the education staff, but also in the functioning of the institution, the organizational quality of life, and the social and economic situation of the society.
