It was also intended to explore the substantial ‎differences between their responses based on school stage and ‎administrative experience. Using a questionnaire, the survey ‎method was carried out. The stratified random sample of 222 ‎school principals was comprised of 222 school principals.The ‎overall quality of work life for school principals was found to ‎be moderate, with a mean score of 2.48. The findings also ‎showed that the quality of work life in both fields (functional ‎and health) was moderate, with means of 2.53 and 2.42.. The ‎findings also indicated that, owing to the variable of school ‎level, there were statistically significant differences in the degree ‎of quality of work life (functional and health) among school ‎principals in the capital governorate at the level of 0.05 in favor ‎of the principals of basic schools. There were also variations in ‎the general level of work life quality because of the ‎administrative experience variable.the functional quality of work ‎is favorable to principals with experience levels of less than five ‎years and between five and ten years, as well as favorable to ‎principals with experience levels of less than five years in the ‎field of health work quality.The study recommended that the ‎Ministry of Education provide health care for school principals ‎as well as appropriate conditions to enable them to practice a ‎quality work life.‎ ‎(Keywords: Quality of Work Life, School Principals, COVID-‎‎19 Pandemic, Jordan)‎
