Clear knowledge of managerial roles allows for understanding the various functions and responsibilities that administrators undertake daily. Additionally, this knowledge offers a balanced perspective on management work, acknowledging that managers must do several responsibilities at once. This study reveals how the Public Education Center (PEC) vice-principals who work with a busy schedule perceive their managerial roles and how they operate their tasks rather than the statements on the formal regulations. This research study utilized a qualitative, phenomenological research design to explore the roles and workload of PEC administrators. We conducted in-depth interviews with four PEC vice-principals who all had worked in Izmir. We aimed to elicit detailed descriptions of their managerial experiences and thoughts on their work. The data were analyzed with the qualitative content-analysis method to identify the patterns and themes. Findings were shaped within the framework of Mintzberg's managerial roles and gathered under three main themes, namely Interpersonal, Informational, and Decisional responsibilities. These results showed that PEC vice-principals were active in all three primary responsibilities. Moreover, according to the participants, the most crucial roles were the roles of leadership, problem-solving, negotiation, dissemination, and representation. The study makes a few implications and recommendations, such as that PECs could use Mintzberg's managerial roles as a framework for assessing performance or that PECs could ensure that their managers have the necessary knowledge and abilities to carry out their duties successfully by understanding their managerial roles.
