This research aims to reveal the effects among teacher victimization, mobbing and faculty trust by
constructing a structural equation model. The data were collected from 1144 teachers working in the
Sanliurfa province of Turkey by cross-sectional surveying with a form prepared online that consisted
of questions regarding demographics, multidimensional teacher victimization scale, the mobbing
scale, and the omnibus t-scale. The results showed that mobbing affects teacher victimization and
faculty trust, teacher victimization negatively affects faculty trust. It is concluded that mobbed
teachers think that they are victimized by the faculty and they lose their trust in the faculty.
