Abstract

In educational environments, each and every employee who plays a role in the realization of learning is considered an educational leader and should be able to create a favorable environment with the help of people who play a role in education so that the goals of these institutions are realized. The development of educational institutions, which are a source of nourishment for other organizations, depends on the environment being free of discouraging and boring factors. The present descriptive-normative study was conducted in order to investigate the psychometric properties of the poisoned educational environment questionnaire. The statistical population of this study was 1556 educational and cultural workers working in Sarab city. Based on the table of Karjesi and Morgan and corresponding to the size of the population, data was collected from 351 available people. The relative size of gender and city classes was included in the sample. Data analysis in S. software. P. S. S. 26 and Lisrel 8.8 were performed. The findings of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that the questionnaire was saturated by three factors. Confirmatory factor analysis also showed a good fit of the three-factor structure with the data. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire and the subscales of bullying, harassment, and Ostracism were equal to 0.82, 0.92, 0.90, and 0.80, respectively; Therefore, the mentioned tool is reliable.
