摘要

本研究的目的在探討幼兒園所長領導風格與教師工作投入的關係。本研究藉由研究者自行設計的「園所長領導風格與教師工作投入量表」作爲研究工具，抽取臺中市500位幼兒園所教師爲樣本進行施測，經剔除未作答及無效量表後，共獲得404份有效量表。研究結果顯示，現職幼托園所教師所知覺的園所長領導風格均屬於中間偏高，亦即較偏向高關懷與高倡導型；在本研究所設定的八個個人背景變項中，不同婚姻狀況及任職於不同學校規模的幼教師，其所知覺的園所長領導風格達顯著差異。在幼教師的工作投入上也顯示幼教師的工作投入程度頗高，此外在不同婚姻狀況、不同教育背景、不同年齡的幼教師，其工作投入的程度也達統計上的顯著水準。前述結果顯示目前幼教界的園所長「領導」風格偏向於高關懷型，教師的「工作投入」則傾向於積極投入。此外，研究結果也發現園所長的領導風格與幼教師工作投入程度有顯著的正相關存在。因此，藉由本研究結果，可使幼兒園所長或相關教育學術與行政機關，瞭解目前幼教界的狀況，並藉此針對工作投入相較下較不積極的老師，多予以關懷及生活輔導，或許將因此而使得幼教界的教育品質更臻於理想，此爲本研究最大的貢獻。

This paper aimed to inquire the relationship between the leadership of the preschool principals and the job involvement of teachers. The study employed self-designed 'Scale of the leadership of the preschool principals and the job involvement of teachers' to conduct the test on 500 subjects sampled from the preschool teachers in Taichung City. 404 valid scales were obtained via excluding the unanswered and the invalid scales. The result indicated the leadership of the principals perceived by teachers was middle-high. Concerning the personal variables the leadership perceived by the teachers with diverse marriage conditions and at diverse school scales showed significant difference. It demonstrated high level of job involvement of teachers. Besides, the teachers with diverse marriages conditions, educational background and ages demonstrated the significant difference on job involvement. The result indicated the good condition of the leadership of the principals and the job involvement of teachers. Moreover, the result showed the positive correlation between the leadership of the head teachers and the job involvement of teachers. Therefore, the result enabled the preschool principals or the related educational academic and administrative institutions to realize the status quo of the preschool education and to improve it as well. It might lead to the better quality for the preschool education, which is the optimal contribution of this study.
