This study aimed to examine the toxic workplace environment, perceived organizational support, and work success among teachers. The sample consisted of 400 teachers from four regions of Thailand, selected through multistage random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire that had undergone validity testing, with item–objective congruence (IOC) values ranging from .67 to 1.00, meeting all evaluation criteria. The reliability coefficients (Cronbach’s alpha) for the toxic workplace environment, perceived organizational support, and work success scales were .94, .79, and .96, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
The results revealed that most teachers perceived a moderate level of toxic workplace environment and organizational support, while their level of work success was low. The correlation analysis indicated that the toxic workplace environment had a statistically significant negative correlation with both perceived organizational support and work success, whereas perceived organizational support had a statistically significant positive correlation with work success. The results of the multiple regression analysis produced the following standardized regression equation for work success (Y):ZY= − .23ZX1 + .51ZX2 by perceived organizational support (X2) was found to be the most influential predictor of work success (β = .51, p < .001), followed by the toxic workplace environment (X1) (β = –.23, p < .001). The model explained 26.0% of the variance in work success. The findings suggest that fostering an organizational culture that values and supports personnel can enhance performance and work success among teachers in Thai educational institutions.
