Students are responsible for most of the cyberbullying suffered by second-level teachers, a researcher has found.
The study by Dublin City University (DCU) researcher Liam Challenor found that social media was the main outlet for victimisation of teachers by their students.

3 of 10 Koreans have experienced workplace bullying: survey
By Choi Ji-won, The Korea Herald

In revealing the results at a press conference outside the National Assembly, the network of unions urged legal action to prevent workplace bullying.
In the survey, which involved 1,078 adult employees across the nation, 300 respondents said they had been subjected to abuse by their colleagues or superiors. The network borrowed a survey format on negative experiences developed by the University of Bergen in Norway. Respondents were categorized as “bullied” if they said they had suffered any one of 22 negative experiences at work more than once a week for over six consecutive months.
