| Summary: | Vice principals although key players in the education system, remain an under-explored population. This article aims to understand the motivations and forms of their commitment to responsibility. It focuses on vice principals in private schools under contract and is based on qualitative research with a comprehensive aim (action-training research conducted by focus group with 24 vice principals). After contextualizing their access to management, clarifying the notion of commitment and responsibility, and presenting the methodology used, this article presents the main results. It shows the tensions inherent in the commitment to the managerial role under the prism of responsibility, between the appropriation of the desire of others and one's own desire, between institutional freedom linked to a with little framework and assignment to a position determined by the headmaster, between the relationship to teaching and to management.
