Workplace bullying is a worldwide extremely worrying phenomenon with negative effects on the personal and professional status of employees. The sector of education is a high-risk professional domain regarding workplace harassment with corrosive consequences on the proper functioning of schools. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree and frequency of occurrence of the phenomenon in public secondary education teachers, its basic forms, main directions and causal factors as well as its impacts on teachers’ psychosomatic health and professional status. Another goal of the study is to investigate the possible correlation of workplace bullying with the leadership style adopted by the school Principal and his / her effectiveness. Based on the results of the survey, 19.4% of the sample are victims of occasional harassment, while 7.8% are victims of serious workplace bullying. Negative attitudes are aimed at the employee's professional status, mainly stem from the Principal, and are attributed to inadequate performance of his / her administrative duties. This kind of behavior results in labor exhaustion, workplace stress, isolation and thoughts of leaving their jobs. Correlation of the phenomenon with demographic factors such as gender, age, academic level or type of school was not observed. However, there was evidence of a statistically significant negative correlation of transformational leadership style with the occurrence of workplace bullying, and of a positive one with passive or laissez-faire leadership style.
