Abstract

Technology is present in every moment of our lives and has become a part of our lives. Developments in information and communication technologies affect and facilitate social life and business life day by day. Although the positive aspects of technological developments are generally mentioned, it also brings many negativities. One of these downsides is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can be expressed as behaviors that hurt, humiliate, disturb, frighten, exclude, and cause victimization by using information and communication technologies of the individual. These behaviors can cause an individual's job and life satisfaction to decrease anxiety, sadness, tension, and loss of motivation. In this case, it becomes difficult for the individual to be effective and efficient in his/her business and social life. For this, it is useful to combat cyberbullying, and it is important to develop combat strategies for it. Otherwise, cyberbullying cannot be prevented. With the precautions, most cyberbullying can be prevented before it happens.
