The Life of a Principal: A Reflection

I. Introduction

Principals play a vital role in the school organization and in the

management and supervision aspects of the educational
institution. Throughout the years, the roles and responsibilities of
the principals are becoming more diverse as new opportunities for
professional development and innovations to crater more difficult
challenges and circumstances that are present or will arise in the
educational institution.
The role of the principal covers many different areas including
leadership, teacher evaluation, and student discipline. Being an
effective principal is hard work and is also time-consuming. A good
principal is balanced within all her roles and works hard to ensure
that she is doing what she feels is best for all constituents involved.
Time is a major limiting factor for every principal. A principal must
become efficient at practices such as prioritizing, scheduling, and
organization. (Meador, 2019)
To name some of the important roles of a principal in the
educational institution we must also take for consideration that
being a principal does not end only in the institution but exceeds
its role in their household and in the community. A school
principal is a primary leader in a school building. A good leader
always leads by example. A principal should be positive,
enthusiastic, have his hand in the day-to-day activities of the
school, and listen to what his constituents are saying. An effective
leader is available to teachers, staff members, parents, students,
and community members. He stays calm in difficult situations,
thinks before acting, and puts the needs of the school before
himself. An effective principal step up to fill in holes as needed,
even if it isn’t a part of his daily routine.
A large part of any school principal’s job is to handle student
discipline. The first step of having effective student discipline is to
ensure that teachers know the expectations. Once they understand
how the principal wants them to handle discipline issues, then her
job becomes easier. Discipline issues a principal deal with will
mostly come from teacher referrals. There are times that this can
take a large part of the day.
A good principal will listen to all sides of an issue without
jumping to conclusions, collecting as much evidence as she can.
Her role in student discipline is much like that of a judge and a
jury. A principal decides whether the student is guilty of a
disciplinary infraction and what penalty she should enforce. An
effective principal always documents discipline issues, makes fair
decisions, and informs parents when necessary.
Most principals also are responsible for evaluating their
teachers’ performance following district and state guidelines.
An effective school has effective teachers, and the teacher
evaluation process is in place to ensure that the teachers are
effective. Evaluations should be fair and well documented, pointing
out strengths and weaknesses.
A good principal should spend as much time in classrooms as
possible. He should gather information every time he visits a
classroom, even if it is just for a few minutes. Doing this allows the
evaluator to have a larger collection of evidence of what actually
goes on in a classroom than a principal who make few visits. A
good evaluator always lets his teachers know what his expectations
are and then offers suggestions for improvement if they are not
being met.
Developing, implementing, and evaluating the programs within
the school is another large part of the role as a principal. A
principal should always be looking for ways to improve the student
experience at school. Developing effective programs that cover a
variety of areas is one way to ensure this. It is acceptable to look at
other schools in the area and to implement those programs within
the principal's school that have proved to be effective elsewhere.
A principal should evaluate school programs every year and
tweak them as necessary. If a reading program has become stale
and students are not showing much growth, for example, a
principal should review the program and make changes as needed
to improve it.
An individual school’s governing document is its student
handbook. A principal should have his stamp on the handbook. A
principal should review, remove, rewrite, or write new policies and
procedures every year as needed. Having an effective student
handbook can improve the quality of education students receive. It
can also make a principal’s job a little easier. The principal’s role is
to ensure that students, teachers, and parents know what these
policies and procedures are and to hold each individual
accountable for following them.
Creating schedules every year can be a daunting task. It can
take some time to get everything to fall into its proper place. There
are many different schedules a principal may be required to create
including a bell, teacher duty, computer lab, and library schedule.
The principal should cross-check each of those schedules to ensure
that no one person has a load that is too heavy
With all the scheduling a principal must do, it is almost
impossible to make everyone happy. For example, some teachers
like their planning period first thing in the morning and others like
it at the end of the day. It is probably best to create the schedule
without trying to accommodate anyone. Also, a principal should be
prepared to adjust schedules once the year begins. She needs to be
flexible because there are times that there are conflicts, she did not
foresee that need to be changed.
Having good relations with parents and community members
can benefit a principal in a variety of areas. If a principal has built
trusting relationships with a parent whose child has a discipline
issue, it will be easier to deal with the situation. The same holds
true for the community. Building relationships with individuals
and businesses in the community can benefit the school greatly.
Benefits include donations, personal time, and overall positive
support for the school.
The abovementioned paragraphs discussed the role of the
principal which based on my experience are what makes a school
principal within the educational institution, but our roles never
end there as we play other roles in the family like me which is a
full-time housewife and a mother as well. The tasks I have as a
principal and as a mother must be weighed properly and should be
balance so no roles will be compromised.
There are many pros and cons that come with being a principal.
It can be a rewarding job, and it can also be an extremely stressful
job. Not everyone is cut out to be a principal. There are certain
defining characteristics that a good principal will possess.
If you are thinking of becoming a principal, it is crucial that you
weigh all the pros and cons that come with the job. Take all factors
of both sides into consideration before making your final decision.
If you do not feel you can handle the cons, stay away from this
profession. If you believe that the cons are only roadblocks, and the
pros are well worth it, then go for it. Being a principal can be a
terrific career option for the right person. Redundancy is never an
issue when you are a school principal. No two days are ever alike.
Each day brings new challenges, new problems, and new
adventures. This can be exciting and keeps things fresh. You can
go into a day with a solid plan of things to do and fail to
accomplish a single thing that you expected. You never know what
will await you on any day. Being a principal is never boring. As a
teacher, you establish a routine and mostly teach the same
concepts each year. As a principal, there is never an established
routine. Each day has its own unique routine that dictates itself as
time passes. As the school leader, you will have more control over
virtually every aspect of your building. You will often be the lead
decision-maker. You will typically have at least some controls over
key decisions, such as hiring a new teacher, changing curriculum
and programs, and scheduling. This control allows you to put your
stamp on the quality of the school. It provides you with the
opportunity to implement the vision that you have for your school.
You will also have total control over daily decisions, including
student discipline, teacher evaluations, professional development,
and so on. As a teacher, you often only have an impact on the
students you teach. Make no mistake that this impact is significant
and direct. As a principal, you can have a larger, indirect impact on
students, teachers, and support personnel. The decisions you
make can affect everyone. For example, working closely with a
young teacher who needs some direction and guidance has a
tremendous impact on both the teacher and every student they will
ever teach. As a principal, your impact is not limited to a single
classroom. A single decision can be transcendent throughout the
entire school.
Not all aspects of being a principal are rosy. To do the job, you'll
need to spend a considerable amount of time—often even nights
and weekends—discharging your duties. Additionally, along with
the ability to make an impact, you'll also be taking on a great deal
of responsibility to ensure the proper functioning of the school, and
you'll have to deal with politics involving students, teachers, and
parents. Following is a few of the major drawbacks of the job.
Effective teachers spend a lot of extra time in their classrooms and
at home. However, principals spend a much greater amount of time
doing their jobs. Principals are often the first one to school and the
last one to leave. In general, they are on a 12-month contract,
getting only two to four weeks of vacation time during the summer.
They also have several conferences and professional development
duties they are required to attend.
Principals are usually expected to attend almost every extra-
curricular event. In many cases, this can mean attending events
three to four nights a week during the school year. Principals
spend a lot of time away from their homes and their families
throughout the school year. Principals have a greater workload
than teachers do. They are no longer responsible for only a few
subjects with a handful of students. Instead, a principal is
responsible for every student, every teacher/coach, every
supporting member, and every program in their building. A
principal’s responsibility footprint is enormous. You have your
hand in everything, and this can be overwhelming.
 You must be organized, self-aware, and confident to keep up
with all of those responsibilities. Student discipline issues arise
every day. Teachers require assistance daily. Parents request
meetings to voice concerns regularly. You are the one responsible
for handling each of these, as well as a plethora of other issues
that occur within your school every day.
Being a principal is not always about the glitz and glamour as
what others may think of it. There are different issues and
concerns that will arise in the institution in which I am the one
fully in-charge in dealing and solving them. As a principal, you deal
with many more negatives than you will positives. The only time
you typically deal with students face-to-face is because of a
discipline issue. Each case is different, but they are all negative.
You also get to handle teachers complaining about
students, parents, and other teachers. When parents request a
meeting, it is almost always because they want to complain about a
teacher or another student.
These constant dealings with all things negative can become
overwhelming. There will be times you will need to shut your office
door or go observe an extraordinary teacher’s classroom just to
escape all the negativity for a few minutes. However, handling all
these negative complaints and issues is a substantial part of your
job. You must effectively address each issue, or you will not be a
principal for long. As discussed earlier, you will receive credit for
successes. It is also crucial to note that you will also be responsible
for failures. This is especially true if your building is a low-
performing school based on standardized test performance. As the
leader of the building, it is your responsibility to have programs in
place to assist in maximizing student performance. When your
school fails, someone must be the scapegoat, and that could fall on
your shoulders.
There are many other ways to fail as a principal that could
jeopardize your job. Some of those include making a series of
damaging hires, failing to protect a student who has been bullied,
and keeping a teacher who is known to be ineffective. Many of
these failures are avoidable with hard work and dedication.
However, some failures will occur no matter what you do, and you
will be linked to them because of your position in the building.
Unfortunately, there is a political component to being a
principal. You must be diplomatic in your approach with students,
teachers, and parents. You cannot always say what you want to
say. You must always remain professional. There are also
occasions where you may be pressured into making a decision that
makes you uncomfortable. This pressure may come from a
 prominent community member, school board member, or your
district superintendent.
This political game could be as straightforward as two parents
wanting their children to be in the same class. It may also become
complicated in a situation where a school board member
approaches you to request that a football player who is failing a
class is allowed to play. There are times like this when you must
make an ethical stand even if you know it may cost you. The
political game can be hard to play. However, when you are in a
position of leadership, you can bet that there will be some politics
involved.
Generally, the life o a principal based on my perspective is not
an easy task. There are broad responsibilities that a school
principal has on its back, and many rely on the efficiency and
effectivity of a principal I became, or I will continue become as a
take this journey and as take part of this journey my life as well as
parent, a mother, and a member of the community. Many will have
burden keeping both responsibilities working together but if you
put all your effort and desire on it, nothing will be impossible.

II. Literature and Studies

Work life balance from the employee viewpoint: the dilemma of
managing work obligations and personal/family responsibilities. Work life
balance from the employer viewpoint: the challenge of creating a supportive
company culture where employees can focus on their jobs while at work.
Family-friendly benefits: benefits that offer employees the latitude to address
their personal and family commitments, while at the same time not
compromising their work responsibilities. Work-life balance is about
effectively managing the juggling act between paid work and other activities
that are important to us - including spending time with family, taking part
in sport and recreation, volunteering or undertaking further study.
Research suggests that improving the balance between our working
lives and our lives outside work can bring real benefits for employers
and employees. It can help build strong communities and productive
businesses. In a society filled with conflicting responsibilities and
commitments, work/life balance has become a predominant issue in the
workplace. Three major factors contribute to the interest in, and the
importance of, serious consideration of work-life balance: Global
competition; renewed interest in personal lives family values; and an aging
workforce.
Madipelli. et al (2013) in their research on factors causing work-life
imbalance among school teachers showed that most of the teachers feels
stress with too many work demands, working conditions and long working
hours. The multiple roles played by women at work place and home
reflecting boredom, frustration and stress lead to work-life imbalance.
Marital relationship, attitude, co-operation of husbands and family
members are highly influencing factors which create imbalance among
working women.
Joanna Hughes, Nikos Bozionelos (2015) purpose is to explore the
views of male workers in a male dominated occupation on issues that
pertain to work-life balance. It emerged that work-life imbalance was not
only a source of concern, but also that it was the major source of
dissatisfaction for participants. Furthermore, participants made a clear
connection between problems with work life balance and withdrawal
behaviors, including turnover and non-genuine sick absence.
Kanwar et al. (2014) stated about work life balance and burnout on
job satisfaction in the context of the Information Technology (IT) and IT
Enabled Services (ITES) industries. Burnout is measured through three
dimensions, i.e., meaninglessness, de-motivation, and exhaustion. Job
satisfaction was higher among the male employees in comparison to the
female employees. Interestingly, the IT group had lower work-life balance
and job satisfaction, while it had higher meaninglessness, de-motivation and
exhaustion compared to the ITES group. Reveal that while work-life balance
and job satisfaction were positively related to each other, de-motivation,
exhaustion and meaninglessness were negatively related to job satisfaction.
S. Padma et.al (2013) have highlighted the role of family support in
balancing personal and work life and found that the present study show
that the support from family members will play a significant role in
balancing Personal and Professional lives. Employees who have adult
children can easily balance than those with younger age kids. Similarly
employees who need to take care of elder parents/in-laws health
responsibility have lesser work life balance than their counterparts. The
study concluded that lower balance may lead to higher absenteeism, lower
job satisfaction and sometimes may turn to higher employee attrition.
Organizations with cooperative work culture may help them to bring a
suitable balance in their professional and personal life.
K. Santhana et.al (2013) highlighted that four factors marital status,
working hours, requirement of flexibility, additional working hours and over
time distort the work life balance. This is more unique in the case of married
women, as any additional working hours at the organizational level deny
them the time required to attend to the children and the other
dependents. Among the factors classified in to components, the above
factors alone influence more than 38% of work life balance. The study
further reveals that three factors, viz., number of dependents, childcare and
reason for overtime i.e. work life balance of married women gets affected
with the number of dependents at home. This is worsened by the number of
small children who need to be cared for and tended [i.e., larger the
dependents lesser is the balance and vice versa, the supportive
functional head can always help to minimize the work life balance related
consequences.
Jain (2013) have done a comparative study of work life balance
among CA, Doctors and Teachers found that working condition, time
management and family support, role expectation is the most influencing
factor which creates work-life balance among professionals. The researcher
also found that work-life imbalances impact job satisfaction level of
Professionals. The findings of study reveals that there exists a difference of
Work Life Balance among CA, Doctors., and Teachers and this difference is
also visible across the family and job status.
G. Kanthi (2013) has found that a good number of respondents
expressed positively or confident enough to balance their routine work
smoothly/comfortably. Due to some economic, family problems,
inefficiency, lack of commitment some of the respondents expressed their
inability to balance their work. The research reveals that long working hour,
compulsory overtime, insisting more stress related job activities, non-
flexible and closing time and other factors partially influencing the
employees in form of absenteeism, turnover, frustration, low morale
and motivation which leads to imbalance of both work and life. A happy and
healthy employee will give better turnover, make good decisions and
positively contribute to the organizational goal.
KumariLalita (2012) commented that each of the WLB factors such as
Psychological distress, organizational changes, working hours, managerial
style, job responsibilities, work overload, work life conflict and personal
financial problems etc. have been proven to affects or are predictive of
job satisfaction. It can also be concluded from the data, that the overall
WLB policies positively correlates significantly with level of job
satisfaction which shows that job satisfaction increases with the increase in
work-life balance. The results also indicated a shift in perceptions about
work-life balance and job satisfaction. In the past, employees often found it
more difficult to maintain balance due to the competing pressures at work
and demands at home.
V.Varatharaj et.al (2012) found that work life balance entails
attaining equilibrium between professional work and other activities, so
that it reduces friction between official and domestic life. Researchers have
noted that the majority of the respondents feel comfortable in their work
place irrespective of their trivial personal and work place irritants. Work life
balance enhances efficiency and thus, the productivity of an employee
increases. It enhances satisfaction, in both the professional and personal
lives.
 According to Fatima et.al (2012) factors affecting work life
Balance are partner support, colleague support and job resources are
positively associated with the work life balance whereas unfair criticism at
job is negatively associated with work life balance. The study reveals that
with reference to partner support male employees are more satisfied
with work life balance as compared to females. It is found that female
employees felt more work life strain due to child care responsibilities, and it
is further noticed that elder dependency is doubling the burden of women
than men.
Tariq (2012) studied the considerable knowledge related to the theory
and practices of Work-life balance from extensive meta-analysis of literature
found that work-life balance is both important for the organization and
for its employee’s particularly in current dynamic organizational
scenarios. It helps the organization to improve productivity, efficiency,
competitiveness, morale and hence gain a competitive edge. Similarly
employees are benefited from work-life balance initiatives through
increased motivation to work, enhanced satisfaction, empowerment and
ultimately more commitment to the organization.
Thriveni et.al (2012) studied the impact of demographic variables on
work-life balance revealed that there is a significant relationship between
all demographic variables - age, experience, marital status, income, type
of family, number of dependents and perception of work-life balance of
employees. This shows that there is a significant relationship between
demographic variables and work life balance.
Ignacia Levy (2012) in his study of working mothers and their
perceived work-life balance showed that the age of the children is not that
significant but the child-care support remains an important factor in
determining perceived work-life balance. The study also highlighted another
parameter called role conflict having negative impact on work-life balance.
Chawla and Sondhi (2011) in their survey conducted among
teachers and BPO women professionals revealed that job autonomy and
organizational commitment are in positive relation with work-life balance.
The study indicated that the more proactive schools/BPO companies
which value the contribution of a committed and contributing human
resource will need to provide more autonomy to sustain their
employee’s work-life balance. While work load and work family conflict
indicated negative relation with work-life balance.
Albertsen et.al (2008) studied the relationship between work hours
and worklife balance and found a strong association between larger
numbers of work hours and lower levels of work life balance amongst
women. For men, the results were less conclusive, while for gender-
mixed groups, an association between overtime work and lower levels of
work life balance was strongly supported. It was found that nonstandard
work hours had a negative influence on work life balance and some
evidence suggested that it had a negative influence on children’s well-
being and on marital satisfaction.
Dessler (2006), unlike many men, women must also make the
‘Career versus family’ decision since the responsibilities of raising the
children and managing the household still fall disproportionately on
women. Balancing work and family life becomes a challenge for women.
Jane et.al (2004) have explored relationships between work-life
balance, work non-work conflict, hours worked and organizational
commitment concluded that, although graduates seek work/life balance,
their concern for career success draws them into a situation where
they work increasingly long hours and experience an increasingly
unsatisfactory relationship between home and work. The article discusses
the causes and potential consequences of this predicament and in particular
how work non-work conflict is linked to hours worked the state of the
psychological contract and organizational commitment. It highlights the
role of organizations' policy and practice in helping to manage the
relationship between work and non-work and the development of
organizational commitment through support for younger employees' lives
out-of-work and effective management of aspects of the psychological
contract.

III. Methodology
In line with our hypotheses, subjective work and private demands
were predicted by an interaction of family-life stages and gender.
Specifically, during the primary child-rearing family-life stages, women
experience more private demands than men while men experience more
work demands, regardless of level of employment. Furthermore, women who
work part time experience more work-life balance than women who work full
time and more than men who work part or full time during the primary
child-rearing family-life stages.
Results are discussed in terms of a gendered work-life experience
across the life course and the need for part-time work for both genders.
Finally, conclusions are drawn concerning our results’ implications for
public health considerations.
With more women in the workforce and more dual income families
than ever before, the pressure to maintain work-family balance is especially
high today. This study offers new evidence for the importance of getting this
balance right: The benefits of a good day at work are actually felt at home,
and visa versa. Researchers reviewed 21 studies and found that a positive
experience in one setting—either at home or at work—can enrich life in the
other. In addition, this positive relationship between work and family is also
associated with greater job satisfaction, commitment to achievement, and
family satisfaction. What’s more, this relationship is cyclical: When positive
experiences at work extend to home, you are then more likely to feel even
more positively about your job. The results suggest it’s important for
employers to encourage and support work-family balance and decrease work
conflict, as this will lead to happier families—and, in turn, happier
employees.
In the light of the present research, it is evident that issue of work-
life balance is persistent because of various factors such as work
culture/environment, HR policies, job insecurities, compensation
packages and so on. Employees undergo severe stress while balancing their
work and personal life, which influences their performance not only in
their work place but on domestic front as well. Employee should set the
goal and excel in both career and family, to achieve balanced work-life (J.
Sudha et. al, 2012). It involves the efforts of a number of partners like the
employee, the organization for which the employee works, family, friendsand
the society in which all are embedded. Sharma&Bajpai(2013) found
that age, marital status, no of dependents has high impact on work-life
balance in their study, which affirms the findings of the study that various
demographic variables such as gender, age, marital status,
educational qualification and income of the employees has a significant
impact on work life balance.
In past few years, personal and family lives have become critical
values for the individuals. Employees are not willing to ignore their family
and personal life, for the sake of work. Over time, workforce has begun to
change the working time and willing to spend every hour as working to
learn and to manage the complexities of modern living, so that the
personal and professional life can be balanced. The present study also
support the notion that work life balance has a very strong impact on
the family of the employees. Consequently, people are looking for options
that allow for both a personal and professional life, which may seek ways to
have a balance between the two.Clarke, Koch and Hill (2004) stated that
WLB is equilibrium or maintaining overall sense of harmony in life. It
was also revealed from the study that compensation factors such as
salary and monetary benefits have a strong influence on the work-life
balance. Higher the employees are satisfied with their salary packages,
more will be the efforts to maintain the balance between work and life.
The present study reflects that the employee-driven solutions for
balancing work-life, will help organization to design and implement work-life
balance policies. It will help to reduce overtime, stress, and workloads on
the work front and increase flexibility and family and leisure time on
domestic front. Organisations have to take the challenge of WLB seriously,
as it affects their professional success and personal well-being. Welfare of
employees and their satisfaction should be the topmost priority of the
organizations.
