Rad ravnatelja škola uključuje raznovrsne poslove, a kao iznimno osjetljivo i zahtjevno područje može se izdvojiti suradnja s roditeljima učenika. U novije vrijeme na svom radnom mjestu ravnatelji su ...nerijetko izloženi različitim nedopustivim ponašanjima i nasilju roditelja, no o tome se malo zna i govori. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati ulogu izloženosti nasilju roditelja učenika u predviđanju zadovoljstva poslom ravnatelja osnovnih škola Republike Hrvatske. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 483 (M = 27,7 %; Ž = 72,3 %) ravnatelja iz svih regija Republike Hrvatske, time je obuhvaćeno 52,6 % pripadnika ciljane populacije. Za prikupljanje podataka korišteni su Upitnik sociodemografskih karakteristika, Skala izloženosti nasilju roditelja te Upitnik zadovoljstva poslom. Rezultati pokazuju da je riječ o raširenoj pojavi, a 80,75 % ravnatelja je tijekom svog ravnateljskog staža doživjelo barem jedan oblik nasilja od strane roditelja. Korelacijskom analizom utvrđeno je da ravnatelji koji češće doživljavaju nasilje roditelja imaju nižu razinu zadovoljstva poslom, a regresijska analiza pokazala je da je doživljeno nasilje statistički značajan prediktor zadovoljstva poslom. Jasna osuda svih oblika nasilja roditelja nad ravnateljima te primjena i poboljšavanje postojećih propisa zaključno se izdvajaju kao nužni uvjeti za smanjivanje te negativne pojave i omogućavanje kvalitetnog rada ravnatelja, a time i škola u cjelini.
The work of school principals includes a variety of tasks, and cooperation with parents of students can be singled out as an extremely sensitive and demanding area. In recent times, principals are often exposed to various impermissible behaviours and violence from parents at their workplace, but little is known and talked about. The aim of this research is to examine the role of exposure to violence by students’ parents in predicting job satisfaction of primary school principals in the Republic of Croatia. The survey included 483 (27.7 % male, 72.3 % female) school principals from all regions of the Republic of Croatia. The Socio-Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Exposure to Parental Violence Scale and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to collect data. The results show that it is a widespread phenomenon, and 80.75 % of principals experienced at least one form of parental violence during their principalship. Correlation analysis found that principals who are more likely to experience parental violence report lower job satisfaction, and regression analysis showed that experienced violence was a statistically significant predictor of job satisfaction. A clear condemnation of all forms of parental violence against principals and the application and improvement of existing regulations are concluded as necessary conditions for reducing these negative phenomena and enabling quality work of principals, and thus the whole school.
Recently, the topic of violence in schools is being addressed more often as part of research studies. So far, very little is known about vertical violence that ascends from teachers and other staff ...towards the school principal. The aim of this study was to examine the association between experiencing violence in the workplace and satisfaction with work and life among primary school principals in the Republic of Croatia. This study included a total of 483 principals (27.7% male and 72.3% female) from different regions across the Republic of Croatia. Relevant data were collected using the Socio- Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Workplace Harassment Scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale, as well as the Job Satisfaction Survey. Our results show that as many as 55.5% of the participants reported experiencing at least one form of violence in their workplace on a regular basis, while 40.8% reported experiencing some form of violence more rarely. Only 3.7% of the participants reported that they had not experienced any form of violence. Based on correlation analyses, we found that principals who were more likely to experience violence in the workplace reported lower work and life satisfaction. In addition, regression analyses showed that violence experienced in the workplace was a statistically significant individual predictor of job satisfaction. Principals who were more likely to be exposed to violence in the workplace also reported lower life satisfaction in general and job satisfaction was a significant mediator in this regard. Our findings highlight the need to prevent incidents of school violence against principals since this could result in harmful consequences with respect to the school staff and their relationships, and subsequently reflect poorly on the students and reputation of the school.
The article problematizes two universal problems in modern schools – peer violence and experiencing boredom in the classroom, and their interconnectedness. The results of research conducted among 604 ...students with an average age of 13.9 years show that these are relatively common among adolescents and that academic boredom is a significant predictor of victimization and the commission of traditional and electronic peer violence, which should be taken into account when creating prevention programs.
Cilj rada bio je ispitati ulogu socijalne samoefikasnosti i nekih sociodemografskih čimbenika u različitom angažmanu djece u vršnjačkom nasilju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 715 učenika (54% ...djevojčica i 46% dječaka) sedmih (N=370) i osmih (N=345) razreda iz različitih regija Republike Hrvatske, prosječne dobi 13,22 godina (SD=0,664). Za potrebe ovoga rada uz Upitnik općih podataka korišteni su sljedeći mjerni instrumenti: adaptirana Skala uloga djece u vršnjačkom nasilju i Skala socijalne samoefikasnosti. Hi-kvadrat testom i logističkom regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je da su dječaci češće počinitelji te aktivni i pasivni pomoćnici, dok su djevojčice češće branitelji. Oba spola podjednako su žrtve i promatrači vršnjačkog nasilja. Utvrđeno je da su učenici sedmih razreda češće počinitelji i aktivni pomoćnici. Djeca u ulozi branitelja imaju višu socijalnu samoefikasnost, dok promatrači imaju nižu socijalnu samoefikasnost. Rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu imati važne implikacije u kreiranju preventivnih programa u smanjenju i sprečavanju klasičnog i elektroničkog nasilja među djecom.
The aim of this research was to examine the role of social self-efficacy and some sociodemographic factors in influencing how children engage in peer violence. A total of 715 students (54% girls and 46% boys) in the seventh grade (N = 370) and eighth grade (N = 345) from five regions in Croatia participated in this study. The average age was 13.22 years (SD = 0.664). For the purposes of this paper, the following measurement instruments were used: the General Data Questionnaire, the adapted Participant Role Questionnaire (PRQ) and Social Self-Efficacy scale. Chi-squared testing and logistic regression showed that boys were more often bullies and active and passive assistants, while girls were more often defenders. Both girls and boys were equally victims and bystanders of peer violence. Seventh-grade students were more often bullies and active assistants. Children who acted as defenders had higher social self-efficacy, while bystanders had lower social self-efficacy. The results of this research may have important implications in creating programmes to reduce and prevent peer violence, bullying and cyberbullying.

Iako se u novije vrijeme govori o nasilju u skoli, najmanje se zna o uzlaznom vertikalnom nasilju, odnosno nasilju ucitelja i drugih djelatnika prema ravnatelju. Cilj je ovog istrazivanja ispitati ...odnos izmectu dozivljenog nasilja na radnom mjestu i zadovoljstva poslom i zivotom medu ravnateljima osnovnih skola Republike Hrvatske. U istrazivanju je sudjelovalo 483 (27,7% muskih; 72,3% zenskih) ravnatelja iz svih regija RH. Za prikupljanje podataka uz Upitnik socio-demografskih karakteristika, koristene su Skala uznemiravanja na radnom mjestu, Skala zadovoljstva zivotom i Upitnik zadovoljstva poslom. Rezultati pokazuju da je cak 55,5% ravnatelja cesto bilo izlozeno barem jednom obliku nasilja na radnom mjestu, dok je njih 40,8% takoder dozivjelo neki oblik nasilja, ali rijetko, a samo 3,7% ih nije iskusilo nijedan oblik nasilja. Rezultati korelacijske analize pokazuju da ravnatelji koji cesce dozivljavaju nasilje na radnom mjestu prijavljuju nize zadovoljstvo poslom i zivotom. Provedenom regresijskom analizom utvrdeno je da je dozivljeno nasilje na radnom mjestu statisticki znacajan individualni prediktor zadovoljstva poslom. Ravnatelji koji su cesce izlozeni nasilju na radnom mjestu prijavljuju i generalno nize zadovoljstvo zivotom, a u torn je odnosu zadovoljstvo poslom znacajan medijator. Zakljucno se upozorava na potrebu sprjecavanja nasilja nad ravnateljima zbog stetnih posljedica na sve djelatnike u skoli i njihove odnose, a to se reflektira i na ucenike te renome skole.
