Results:

service/conflict’ 65.28(±25.94), ‘emotional dissonance and damage’ 57.52(±24.79), ‘organizational supervision/monitoring’ 49.23(±25.82),
and ‘organizational support/protection system’ scored 41.66(±19.03) out of 100. According to the reference guideline of this measures,
the score of ‘Overload for client service/conflict’ and ‘organizational supervision/monitoring’ were ‘warning/caution’ level. In workplace
violence of preschool teachers, ‘customer’s emotional and sexual violence’ scored 7.12(±11.84), ‘colleague’s emotional and sexual
violence’ 4.98(±12.34), ‘customer/college’s physical violence’ 1.67(±10.50) and ‘organizational support system against violence’ scored
