The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and impact of violence against teachers on their socio-psychological wellbeing. Teachers were randomly picked from different schools in Jordan. The questionnaires were distributed to 257 teachers and were analyzed by correlation matrix and factor analysis. The results showed that more than three quarter (84.6%) of the teachers had intention to leave their profession due to violence at workplace. A positive strong relationship exists between quitting profession and poor work management (r=0.813). Violence at workplace is strongly associated with anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal (r=0.886). Only14.9% teachers had neutral perception and 84.6% of the teachers agreed to leave the profession due to violence that caused anxiety and depression. There was a strong association between the Anxiety Depression and Leave Profession.
