Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined the perspectives of school principals on the workload of the additional administrative responsibilities they were assigned during COVID-19 in Turkey. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the nature of these additional responsibilities and to assess their impact on the principals who took them on. The research group consisted of 62 school administrators (principals and vice principals), from public elementary schools. The research data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that principals were assigned tasks without regard to their specific roles, with no differentiation based on their positions. The study also revealed a variety of emotional experiences among the participants, ranging from fear and anxiety to feelings of satisfaction and commitment. Overall, this study provided valuable insights into the complex dynamics of principals’ experiences during COVID-19 and highlighted the need for transparent communication, equitable task allocation, and adequate support mechanisms to maintain their well-being and commitment.
