In this research, the case study method was used to uncover the relationships and commonalities between polemics and cynicism in the context of educational organizations. The research study group consists of five teachers who were selected through criterion sampling. These teachers worked for public schools and they were experienced in various case studies. The data was obtained through semi-structured interview questions, subjected to descriptive analysis, coded, and brought together under various categories and themes. The results obtained show that polemicist attitudes that come to life in the leader or administrator in educational organizations cause the development of cynical tendencies in the eyes of teachers and other personnel. Considering the findings obtained in line with the opinions of the teachers who are the subject of the cases, the polemicist attitude was determined to consist of conservative, otherizing, subject, and toxic sub-themes and the cynical attitude to consist of passive, being seen as the other and criticizing sub-themes. At the same time, observations revealed that polemicist and cynical tendencies are common in the codes of seeing oneself/the other one as capable, mutual distrust, and resistant.
