摘要

近年來教育改革風氣日盛，具體成形的教育政策亦相繼推出，使得學校組織面臨前所未有的變革震撼。校長身為首席領導者，在各種社會期望下，感受到莫大壓力與挑戰。相關文獻指出，在近來的教育改革浪潮下，將微觀政治應用於學校領導的趨向愈見明顯，而台灣將國外有關微觀政治的文獻應用於學校領導之研究並不多見。本文主要探討微觀政治的主要意涵，分析其在學校領導之應用，並探究微觀政治應用在學校領導的思辯與新思維。最後本文指出，校長若將微觀政治應用在學校領導，校長應具有這些新思維：須具備微觀政治素養（包括知識面、操作面和經驗面之素養）、權衡學校內的領導情境而妥善運用微觀政治領導之各類型，並考量華人特有的社會國情（例如重視權威和階層關係），方能有助於校長有效運用微觀政治領導各類型之精意。
