Özet: In this study, it was aimed to determine the problems that school principals and vice-principals experienced in schools they work. The study was carried out with a comparative case study pattern and the study group was determined according to the snowball sampling method. Eight school principals and eight vice-principals during the spring semester of 2019-2020 academic year participated in this research. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect data. The data obtained were analysed by content analysis technique and themed. According to the findings, the problems faced by school administrators with their colleagues, were examined in three categories: management, human relations, and academic and field proficiency levels. It was found that almost all of the problems experienced were reported by the vice-principals without gender exception. This situation, with a different discourse; indicated that the subordinates had problems with their superiors. The personality traits and individual perceptions of administrators are more effective than gender differences in problems. Another important point to be expressed is; although there are problems in both genders, considering the negative effects of these problems in terms of the depth and functioning of the school, it can be said that the negative relationships of female school administrators with their colleagues and the psychological damage they have caused to the communication channels are more severe than males.
