學校中層領導者之領導與被領導期待──以臺北市國小主任為例
Expectations of Leaders and Followers Among Middle Leaders in Schools: A Case Study of Elementary School Directors in Taipei City
摘要
近年來國小校園中出現了許多行政逃亡潮，在過往主任職位常被視為教師職涯很重要的晉升管道，但近來主任職務卻讓教師避之唯恐不及，主任職報考率與留任率逐年下降。本研究以個案訪談，了解校長對於主任的期待、主任自身的期待以及組長對主任的期待，在這三者的關係勾勒出主任中層領導者的角色能力與特質。研究顯示：（一）校長期待主任們有能力（領導力、決策力、鼓舞力）、有專業（技術指導、提供回饋、達成目標）與擁有特質（能溝通、能調整、能合作）；（二）國小主任認為自己應具備溝通協調能力、系統思考能力、解決問題能力、專業能力，並具備抗壓性，且能營造良好的工作氛圍；（三）國小組長認為有效溝通、營造團隊良好氛圍、處事要公平、負責任願承擔，且具有理想性能引導同仁前進，是主任的重要能力與特質；（四）國小校長對於主任能力與特質的期待與主任自我期待，在有效溝通、問題解決、系統思考、專業素養的能力上是相符的；（五）國小行政組長期待主任能力與特質與主任自我期待，在良好溝通能力、營造良好氛圍、專業行政能力與問題解決能力是相似的。

In recent years, there has been a trend of reluctant to take up administrative positions in elementary school. The position of director is an important career progression pathway to be a principal. However, the role of director has become a hot potato that many teachers wish to avoid. The application rate and retention rate for directors have been decreasing year by year. This article aims to understand the expectations of principals to directors, the expectations of directors to themselves, and the expectations of directors' group leaders. Through interviews in specific cases, I would like to outline the required abilities and expectations for directors as middle leaders in school. The results reveal: 1. Principals expect directors to possess abilities (leadership, decision-making, encouragement), profession (technical guidance, providing feedback, achieving goals), and traits (communication, flexibility, collaboration). 2. Middle lesders in elementary schools believes they should have communication and coordination skills, systems thinking ability, problem-solving skills, professional competence, and resilience, as well as the ability to create a positive atmosphere. 3. Group leaders in elementary schools consider effective communication, creating a positive team atmosphere, fairness in handling affairs, and the ability to provide ideal guidance to colleagues as important abilities and traits of directors. 4. The principals expect that the abilities and traits of middle leaders align with middle leaders's own expectations in effective communication, problem-solving, systems thinking, and professional competence. 5. Group leaders in elementary schools have consensus about directors' self-perceived abilities and traits of leadership expectations, including good communication skills, creating a positive atmosphere, professional administrative competence, and problem-solving ability.
