Examining The Impact Of Power Harassment On Turnover Intention Among Teaching Faculty: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract

Power harassment within educational institutions has become a growing concern, as it can significantly affect the well-being and job satisfaction of teaching faculty. This comprehensive study aims to examine the impact of power harassment on turnover intention among teaching faculty. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews to provide a holistic understanding of the phenomenon.

The survey component of the study gathers quantitative data on the prevalence and perception of power harassment among teaching faculty. It assesses the levels of power harassment experienced by faculty members, their reactions to such harassment, and the extent to which it influences their intention to leave their current teaching positions. The survey data will be analysed using statistical techniques to identify trends and correlations. Qualitative interviews with teaching faculty members who have encountered power harassment at work are also included in the study. These interviews aim to capture the nuances of power harassment experiences, the coping strategies employed, and the emotional and psychological impact on the affected individuals. Qualitative analysis techniques have applied to the interview data to extract themes and patterns.

The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the prevalence and impact of power harassment in educational institutions, with a specific focus on teaching faculty. By examining the relationship between power harassment and turnover intention, this research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing faculty retention and attrition in the academic sector.

The results of the study is beneficial for educational institutions, administrators, policymakers, and researchers interested in improving the working conditions of teaching faculty and enhancing the quality of education.
