Author(s): Salaheddine Hussein Saleh & Hiba Yasser Taha

The research aims to determine the level of perceived bullying among workers in a number of governmental and private colleges in the city of Baghdad and to know the level of differences between the responses of the members of the research sample. To achieve the objectives of the research, a questionnaire was developed and distributed to a sample of (130) individuals. It was subjected to statistical analysis (122), which is (94%). Several methods have been used in statistical analysis including (Mean, Correlation, ANOVA,). The research reached several results and conclusions, the most important of which is that the sample is aware of and well aware of the contents of "bullying behaviors at work", and that there are significant differences between the faculties discussed. The research recommended that the researched organizations should pay attention to maintaining a positive cultural environment in which the values of respect and dignity prevail for workers. This would prevent bullying cases from occurring in the work, and the necessity of adopting codes of ethical behavior.
