In organizations, the mobbing behaviours both from top to bottom and from bottom to top negatively affect the process of reaching organizational goals. Mobbing from bottom to top highly occurs in educational organizations in accordance with the others. In this paper, mobbing behaviours from the staff to the principals in primary and secondary schools are studied. The data were obtained from the negative behaviours scale from a total of 60 principals working in various primary and secondary schools who were selected using random sampling in the central district of Erzurum. These data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software package for frequency distribution, percentages, and t-test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis, and Mann-Whitney U-test.
