dc.description.abstractThis article focuses on teachers� experiences and sources of workplace bullying as well as its impact on the health of teachers in Lesotho. Data from the interviews indicated that workplace bullying against teachers is highly prevalent. It further emerged that the workplace bullying they experienced had a serious impact on their health in all contexts of their existence namely biological, psychological, spiritual, ecological and metaphysical contexts that can be regarded as worktrauma. The sources of workplace bullying experienced by teachers are the management of schools to a large extent, followed by colleagues of equal status and parents, community and the students to a lesser extent. In the light of the findings the study recommends that, teacher support programmes should be put in place in order to address issues of workplace bullying and its impact on teachers� health.
