Working life is as essential and indispensable as private life for people. Paying equal attention to work and private life is the way to balance these living spaces. Work-private life balance is essential both for the uninterrupted functioning of organizations and for the employees to continue their private life healthily. This study aims to reveal school administrators’ views on work- private life balance. Of qualitative research methods, a phenomenological research design was used to examine the subject in-depth, obtain rich findings, and understand the phenomenon better. The study participants comprised 50 school administrators, 19 females and 31 males, selected using purposeful and snowball sampling methods from 275 public high school administrators working in four central districts of Mersin in the 2021-2022 academic year. All the data were collected through face-to-face interviews and divided into codes, categories, and subcategories using content analysis. At the end of the analysis, the findings relating to five themes were created considering the literature. Although the work- private life balance was taken into account when asking questions to study participants, it was discovered that school administrators working in public high schools experienced a work- private life imbalance.
