Research statement

Background In response to concerns that the increasing complexity and workload demands of school leadership roles are impacting on the health and well-being of Irish school leaders, IPPN commissioned a specific piece of research, in partnership with our sister organisation at post-primary level – the National Association of Principals and Deputies (NAPD). The focus of the research project was on the occupational health, safety and well-being of school leaders in Ireland, and was conducted. Contribution The data details the impacts of workload and work environments on the health and wellbeing of school leaders. It is clear that the cumulative emotional and physical burden is taking a significant toll on the wellbeing of Irish school leaders. The extent to which that wellbeing is compromised is detailed in this report. Significance The data illustrates the inexorable and worrying increases in the scores for negative health outcomes with the elevated burnout scores being of particular concern. There is a shared responsibility to prioritise actions that will have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of school leaders in the immediate future.
