I used the qualitative phenomenological approach in conjunction with thematic analysis to accomplish the research goals. Following Cresswell's (2006) recommendations, open-ended interview questions were used to gain a genuine grasp of the participant's experiences. Additionally, by using this interviewing technique, I pushed my participants to talk candidly and completely about their personal experiences or the significance of the phenomenon under investigation—in this case, their experiences as male elementary school teachers. According to the findings of the thematic analysis of the study participants' responses, the following conclusions and related topics emerged: The involvements of intermediate male teachers in various school activities were on Implementing positive discipline; Trying to be a positive male role model; and Providing school support. The coping mechanisms of the male teachers were: Seeking Support from School Leaders and other teachers; Setting Boundaries at work area and Taking a break on school work. The educational management insights were focused on two factors: Setting a positive school environment and Establishing personal connections with stakeholders.
