The purpose of the research is to obtain school managers' perceptions of the occurrence of upward bullying in Public and Independent Gauteng Secondary Schools and what implications upward bullying will have on the management of the school.Historically bullying has always been associated with children and was mainly practised by them in the classroom and on playgrounds. Today bullying extends beyond these arenas and has habituated the staffroom as well as the school administrative offices.The educational system has undergone total transformation and restructuring in the last fourteen years. For example, our educational system moved from a multiple system to a single non-racial system that has brought about many important and challenging changes to education (Rossouw, 2008:7).In 1993, the Education Labour Relations Act 146 of 1993 was passed. This had a significant impact on educators as far as their labour rights were concerned. For the first time, educators were given certain labour rights that previously did not exist.According to Bray (2008:1), the introduction and the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996 (hereafter Constitution) which includes in Chapter Two a Bill of Rights, means that South Africa has turned its back on the past and that the changes being brought about are both fundamental and irreversible. Section 12 of the Bill of Rights as entrenched in the Constitution deals with security of the person and provides that everyone has the right to freedom and security which includes the right to be free from any form of violence, not to be tortured in any way and not to be treated or punished in a cruel or inhumane or degrading way.Managers of schools need to be knowledgeable and adequately trained to face the many challenges which they are confronted with on a daily basis. In past years the educational world has been infested with bullying behaviour, especially at school level. Managers of schools would bully staff members and staff members would bully management. The latter can be referred to as being upward bullying.Bush (2003:1) states that educational management is a field of study and practice that is concerned with the operation of educational organisations. Managers of schools need to at all times remain focused on the aims and objectives of the institution which they lead. In order for this to be achieved, the leader needs to remain objective and impartial when making decisions. Yukl (2002:3) defines leadership as follows "Most definitions of leadership reflect the assumption that it involves a social influence process whereby intentional influence is exerted by one person [or group] over people [or groups] to structure the activities and relationships in a group or organization."Leaders' decisions are very often influenced by the actions of other people. Cuban's (1988:193) definition of leadership clearly highlights this when he says "Leadership, then refers to people who bend the motivations and actions of others to achieving certain goals; it implies taking initiatives and risks"..
