Purpose: Spitefulness is a strong instinctive behavior which is potentially serious and often has psychological, interpersonal and social negative consequences. Revealing the reasons, levels and prevention methods in institutional life will be beneficial in terms of productivity, performance and relationships. The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale to evaluate spitefulness behavior of managers, and to determine the perceptions of teachers related to administrational spitefulness.
