- 요약The principalship is an important position in American public schools; principals directly contribute to teachers' and students' success (Carpenter et al., 2024; Grissom et al., 2021). Within the last few decades, scholars have noted the roles and responsibilities of principals are intensifying ( Heffernan & Mills, 2023; Mahfouz, 2020; Wang et al., 2022; Yan, 2020). Due to their workload, many principals are experiencing high levels of stress and burnout (Heffernan & Mills, 2023). According to a recent report, female principals are reporting higher levels of burnout than males (Steiner et al., 2022). This research has implications for the well-being of American public schools since more than half of principals (56%) are female (National Center for Education Statistics, 2023), yet a review of the literature revealed most studies are gender neutral. Researchers have attempted to identify how individuals cope with the principalship. They have found that while principals can identify successful coping strategies, they often fail to use them based on a lack of time (Boyland, 2011; DeMatthews et al., 2023; Mahfouz, 2020; Ray et al., 2020; Sogunro, 2012). Similar to the literature on burnout, this research on coping has been gender neutral. Therefore, this mixed methods study was guided by two research questions: RQ1: What are the burnout rates among female and male K-12 public school principals? RQ2: How do female K-12 public school principals experiencing high and low levels of burnout experience and cope with the principalship? A sequential mixed methods design was used. First, quantitative data on burnout among K - 12 public school principals in a suburban Texas school district was collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educator Survey. Then, purposeful sampling was used to identify eight female principals: four experiencing high levels of burnout and four experiencing low levels of burnout. The eight principals participated in semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data revealed half the district's principals were engaged and doing well in their roles. The other half of the principals were experiencing higher levels of burnout on the burnout-engagement continuum. While males (43%) were primarily at risk for burnout in all three domains (exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy), females were primarily at risk for burnout either due to efficacy (33%) or exhaustion (13%). Qualitative results revealed two shared themes among the female principals: collective realities of the role and common ways of coping. The principals experiencing low levels of burnout shared three themes: filled with purpose, grounded in optimism, and sustained through support. The principals experiencing high levels of burnout shared four themes: deteriorating health¸ fighting with everyone, drowning in compliance, and feeling unheard as professionals.
