摘要

本研究採文獻分析及訪談法，旨在探討海外臺灣學校校長所應扮演的角色及其工作壓力來源與因應策略，供有志赴海外臺灣學校奉獻的校長候選人或現任校長參考，並對有關單位及人員提出具體建議，俾校長能安心辦學，發揮所長。
本研究共訪談10位海外臺灣學校校長及5位董事會或駐外館處人員，訪談資料經討論分析，獲致下列結論：
一、海外臺灣學校校長主要扮演之角色項目與國內差異不大，但更多元複雜，難度明顯高於國內。
二、稱職的海外臺灣學校校長最重要是扮演好經營者角色，把學校辦好。
三、影響海外臺灣學校校長角色扮演的最主要因素為校長的人格特質，其次為校長經歷、學校國別、年齡、學歷，性別因素影響最小。
四、 校長工作壓力主要來自政策、董事會、學校經營、行政運作及自我期許等壓力，其中感受最大是自我期許壓力，其次是董事會、行政運作的壓力，政策壓力最小。
五、大多數校長都曾因工作壓力而產生身心上的不適。
六、影響校長工作壓力來源的相關因素中，關聯性最大的是人格特質，其次為校長經歷、學校國別、年齡，學歷與性別因素的關聯性最小。
七、校長工作壓力因應策略有面對問題、尋求支持、理性思考、情緒調適及延緩處理等，其中最常使用面對問題，其次為尋求支持，最少使用延緩處理。
八、多數校長都對自己處理壓力的方式表示滿意，但仍有改善空間。
九、影響校長工作壓力因應策略的相關因素中，關聯性最大的是人格特質，其次為校長經歷、學校國別、年齡及學歷，關聯性最小的為性別因素。
上結論除提供現任與未來有意擔任海外臺灣學校校長者，以及學校董事會、教育部等單位做為參考，並希望能對未來有意研究相關主題者有些許助益。

This paper was to discuss the roles of principals of the overseas Taiwan School, to probe the sources of stresses they faced, and suggest some strategies to reduce these stresses.
Besides document’s investing, we interviewed ten principals of Taiwan School and five members belonged to the directors of schools’ boards or the staff of embassies. Several conclusions were made after analyzing these information:
1.There is little difference between the principles of the overseas Taiwan School and of the domestic schools on the major roles they played, but the former’s roles are more complicated and full of difficulties.
2.The most important role for the principles of the overseas Taiwan School is to be a good manager.
3.The factors affecting the performance of these roles are gender, age, educational degree, professional experience, personal characteristics, etc. The most important one is characteristics, and the least is gender.
4.The stresses of the principals mainly come from the government’s policies, the directors of the school board of directors, school’s management, administrative affairs and self-expectancy. The last source is the principal one and the stress from the government’s policies is smallest.
5.The health of most principals was affected by these stresses.
6.The principal factor to affect the sources of pressure is personal characteristics, and the least one is gender.
7.Some strategies adopted to release these stresses include recognizing the existence of problems, looking for support, thinking rationally, modifying the emotion and delaying the treatment. The one adopted most frequently is to face the problem positively, and delaying the treatment is the least used.
8.Most principals were satisfied about their treatments of stresses.
9.The principal factor to influence the strategies adopted is personal characteristics, and the least one is gender.
We hope these conclusions could be noticed both by the Ministry of Education and the boards of leaders of these schools, and be helpful for those who are now or want to be principals of overseas Taiwan School.
