This study adopts qualitative research and narrative research as the approaches for study methods to explore the experiences and feelings of junior high school teachers who also took on administrative posts in the north, as well as to understand the factors for their feelings towards the reappointment of administrative tasks. The six interviewees in this study serve at six junior high schools in the north with different administrative districts, school district characteristics and school sizes; the additional positions they took on include two chiefs of behavior, two chiefs of curriculum, and two directors of academic affairs. After organizing the interview data of the six interviewed teachers, it was discovered that the factors influencing junior high school teachers in the north to take on additional administrative tasks include the following three aspects: teachers’ individual factors, school’s organizational factors as well as work predicament factors respectively. Teachers’ individual factors include three parts: intrinsic motivational factor, gender and family factor, age and length of service factor, as well as work stress factor. School organizational factors include: influences from the school’s main development of educational goals and the development of parents’ social experience and status. Work predicament factors include: influences from the sequence of taking on the post for administrative tasks and insufficient work time. This study further proposes relevant suggestions based on the previously mentioned research conclusions. Firstly is the suggestion for the school level, it is hoped that the school’s executive staff may utilize fair and incentive strategies to encourage and persuade senior teachers in returning to take on administrative tasks, while also cultivating newly employed teachers to participate in administrative tasks, to adopt the double-track strategy in parallel in order to reinforce the school’s administrative human resources structure. Secondly is the suggestion towards teachers with additional administrative posts, provide suggestions of positive strategies to neutralize the negative stress as well as further education, so as to benefit oneself in taking more solid steps in an administrative career.
