AB Research on workplace bullying in Western academic circles has formed a relatively complete academic system which in China is particularly insufficient. However, "coercion", a specific phenomenon of workplace bullying, still exists in many forms and in many aspects of Chinese school management. From the perspective of the historical context of Chinese traditional culture, it contains some basic elements such as the intimidators, the coerced persons, the specific content, the methods and the environment. These factors and their interactions are important clues to the analyses of their mechanisms. From the perspective of "the flow and distribution of social resources", "the operation process of public power" and so on, coercion is very harmful because of its pursuit of "efficiency standards", adhering to the concepts of "sex-oriented evil", "spiritual violence" and so on. Therefore, in order to continuously improve the quality of school management, we should seek some measures to realize a Chinese-characteristic school management system.
