Teaching is understood to be a highly stressful profession. In England, workload, high-stakes accountability policies and pupil behaviour are often cited as stressors that contribute to teachers’ decisions to leave posts in the state-funded sector. Many of these teachers leave state teaching to take jobs in private schools, but very little is known about the nature of teachers’ work in the private sector. This research addresses this gap in knowledge and compares the sources of stress experienced by 20 teachers in the state sector to those of 20 teachers in the private sector. The paper is based on qualitative data from a larger study. It analyses data collected in interviews and focus groups with classroom teachers and middle leaders working in mainstream primary and secondary phase education in England. The results emphasise state school teachers’ acute distress in relation to workloads driven by accountability cultures. In comparison, private school teachers report less intense experiences of work-related stress, but some identify demanding parents as a concern. The research’s novelty lies in this comparison between sectors and these sector specific insights may help to focus school leaders’ efforts to improve teaching conditions in both sectors.

The rapid development of technology has deeply affected labour relationships. With the increasing technological developments, traditional mobbing, which is an important problem in labour relations, has started to leave its place to digital mobbing practices today. The biggest difference of digital mobbing from traditional mobbing is that the electronic devices used, eliminate the time and space factor. In this study, the effects of digital mobbing practices applied to employees in workplaces were examined through the example of private school teachers. The reason for choosing private school teachers is that the education sector is the sector where mobbing is encountered intensely. Teachers working in private schools in Elazig province constituted the population of the study. Semi-structured interview form, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Interview forms were evaluated with content analysis. As a result of the study, it was determined that digital mobbing practices occur in private schools in a multidimensional way and negatively affect labour relationships.
