Beside its fundamental purpose, this study also aims to identify the levels of school principals’ toxic leadership characteristics and of teachers’mobbing perception and whether or not those levels differ according to demographic and occupational properties. The study uses the relational survey model and quantitative design. The sample was composed of 455 teachers teaching in schools in Çanakkale city centre and in the county of Çan in 2023-2024 academic year. The research data were collected with the Demographic Information Form, Mobbing Scale and Toxic Leadership Scale. Percentage analysis, frequency analysis, regression analysis, correlation analysis, Mann Whitney-U test, Shapiro-Wilk test, Kolmogrov-Smirnow test and Kruskal Wallis-H test were used in analysing the data. As a result, teachers’ perceptions of school principals’ toxic leadership characteristics and their perceptions of mobbing were generally found to be at medium level. In addition to that, teachers’ perceptions of toxic leadership differed significantly according to gender, level of education and school where they taught. On the other hand, positive and significant correlations were found between principals’ toxic leadership characteristics and teachers’ perceptions of mobbing. As a result, school principals’ behaviours and performance can be monitored and evaluated, and administrators can be offered training by giving feedback in relation to their toxic leadership and mobbing behaviours.  \nKeywords: Toxic leadership, mobbing, school principals, teachers  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2024.1067 .2  \nSubmitted:21 August 2024 Accepted: 25 September 2024 Published: 30 September 2024  \n1 This research is produced from a thesis prepared by the first author under the supervision of the second author.  \n2 Pelin Özcan, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, Turkey.

Leadership, which is a process of interaction in which individuals are encouraged to progress towards group objectives through their personal motivation without forcing, is the process of one’s directing and influencing a group of people in order to attain a shared goal. It is also a process which makes others understand and accept what to do and how to do it, and it involves facilitation of individual and joint efforts. Thus, leadership means enabling individuals to contribute to group goals and regulating pursuing the goals (Khalili, 2023) .  \nWhile the positive sides of leadership are emphasised, harmful types of leadership called toxic leadership also began to attract attention. Toxic leadership is a leader’s influence on the employee, team or organisation in a negative way by displaying harmful and negative behaviours. This leadership contains such elements as leader’s lack of empathy, inadequacy of emotional intelligence, loss of control, manipulation tendencies, excessive competitiveness and desire for power (Çelebi et al., 2015) . Toxic leaders usually focus on their own benefits and do not consider their employees’ needs and emotional health important. Such leadership causes harm to organisation culture, affects the potential ina negative way and ","cbCaipDP1baPBFje","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipDP1baPBFje","pdf",351406,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Leadership and toxic leadership\n## Mobbing concept\n## Leadership impact in schools","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to identify correlations between principals’ toxic leadership characteristics and teachers’ perceptions of mobbing, and to examine associated levels and differences across demographic and occupational properties.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"It used a relational survey model with quantitative design.
