This context enabled cyberbullying against teachers from students, which negatively impact their well-being. Previous studies have focused on school violence against teachers, but less is known about cyberbullying against teachers while considering teacher burnout dimensions. We used a sample of 1,387 teachers (M = 42.2, SD = 10.1; female, 79.1%) from Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, and Ecuador. Using structural equation modeling, we found that higher levels of cyberbullying are associated with lower levels of teachers’ well-being and mediated by psychological exhaustion but not by enthusiasm toward the job scale. Our results confirm the adverse effects of cyberbullying on teachers’ well-being. We highlight two burnout dimensions as possible underlying mechanics to better understand this relationship. Therefore, prevention programs can include skills and teacher resources to deal with cyberbullying and burnout to moderate the negative impact on their well-being. 2025-07-08T12:39:20Z 2025-07-08T12:39:20Z 2025 Artículo 1538-8220 1538-8239 https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/20042 10.1080/15388220.2025.2483270 spa Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ application/pdf Taylor & Francis Journal of School Violence. 2025, 24(3)
