At this point, school principals started to communicate with teachers through different communication channels such as social media tools. In this context, the purpose of this study is to determine teachers' views on the use of social media tools in managerial communication of school administrators. The phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study.The maximum diversity sampling, one of the purposeful sampling types, was used as the sampling type. The working group of the research consists of 12 teachers working in Çekmeköy district of Istanbul province.Semi-structured interview form was used to collect the data. Collected data were analyzed by the content analysis method. According to the findings obtained in the study, it was determined that the use of social media tools by school administrators has positive results in managerial communication due to the benefits they provide, but it has also been found to cause some communication problems. It has been determined that the use of social media tools in managerial communication outside of school hours is considered normal according to some of the teachers and disturbing according to some teachers. It was not found reliable due to reasons such as the use of social media tools in administrative communication, the teachers' use of data for other purposes, and the possibility of data going abroad. In addition, it has been determined that social media tools increase addiction, which can lead to disruption of communication and various psychological disorders.
