| Περιγραφή: | The professional role of a school principal encompasses various tasks, including administrative, legal, strategic, financial, and managerial responsibilities in the education sector. The intricate nature of their work exposes principals to increasing stress, leading to burnout. This qualitative study with 15 principals aims to identify key factors contributing to burnout and explore mitigation strategies. Findings highlight administrative, legal, and accounting tasks, as well as hiring responsibilities, as major stressors. Interpersonal relationships with teachers and parents also play a role in burnout. Common coping methods mentioned by participants include spending time with loved ones and engaging in stress management education. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of developing comprehensive support systems within the school environment to alleviate the burden on principals. The study serves as a foundation for future research on principal stress in educational settings and as material for professional development on burnout in primary schools. By addressing the highlighted stressors, educational leaders can work towards creating a more sustainable and supportive work environment, thereby reducing the risk of burnout among principals. |
