“…The phenomenological research design is susceptible to ethical issues at many phases throughout the process (Creswell, 2009). Johanson (2018) noted that, from the constructivist lens, the researcher will need to address the value-laden nature of the research and report the biases and values related to principal burnout as they have the potential to interfere with neutrality.…”

Principal workloads and demands are steadily increasing while principal health and well-being are declining, resulting in increased rates of principal turnover. Currently, principals are experiencing numerous work-related stressors that are increasing burnout. In many cases, school leaders are sacrificing their families and health to lead their schools. As school success is linked with principal leadership, principal burnout and wellness demands further discussion and investigation. Yet, there is a limited body of research that examines the lived experiences of principals who experience burnout. Consequently, this researcher conducted a phenomenological qualitative study of 12 Texas K-12 elementary and secondary public school principals in central Texas. Findings pointed out that principals experience burnout in waves. While the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted the burnout principal experienced, political divisiveness and social media attacks intensified their burnout. Additional findings revealed that burnout can cause principals to question staying in their role and negatively affect the quality of their family relationships as well as their health. Principals coped with their burnout by being aware of their emotions, spending time doing things that brought happiness, exercising, and reverting back to their faith in God. Additionally, principals believed that having knowledgeable district leaders who are visible, trust their leadership, and offer real support could help to alleviate or mitigate principal burnout. Suggestions for ways that district leaders, principal preparation programs, and state education departments could reduce principal burnout and increase student, school, and distinct outcomes while supporting principal well-being are provided.
