Abstract

This study aimed to identify the extent of administrative bullying via social media among sports specialists at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and to explore differences in this phenomenon based on job grade, educational qualification, and gender. Using a descriptive survey approach, a random sample of 235 sports specialists from the Ministry of Youth and Sports was selected, comprising 185 for the main study and 50 for a pilot study. Data was collected via a questionnaire. A key finding was the moderate prevalence of administrative bullying via social media among the sports specialists. Furthermore, the results indicated no statistically significant differences in reported administrative bullying based on the participants' job grade, educational qualification, or gender. The study recommends developing and implementing a comprehensive policy to combat social media bullying. This policy should clearly define prohibited behaviors, outline consequences for violations, and establish transparent guidelines for reporting incidents. Additionally, it advises conducting regular awareness campaigns for all professionals on the definition, impact, and prevention of cyberbullying in the workplace.
