摘要

本研究之目的在瞭解國內幼教機構主管的專業發展，並探討影響其專業發展的因素。研究方法以正式訪談為主，輔以觀察與文件收集。研究對象包括台北市三位年資六年的幼教機構主管（華園長、安園長、義所長）。本研究主要發現如下：
（一）研究對象在六年的主管生涯中，經歷完全不同的經驗，而他們的專業發展依其所面對的人事物、園所狀況、工作重點等特徵而有所不同。
（二）從專業發展層次來看，目前，義所長已經漸漸邁入成熟階段，而華園長與安園長都處於勝任階段。雖然目前的層次並不相同，但他們都歷經初任時的適應階段（雖充滿熱誠，但仍面臨現實的考驗，並積極尋求他人的認同），以及之後的勝任階段（例行工作上手，並嘗試調整自己與組織）。
（三）影響研究對象專業發展的因素可分為個人因素、組織因素與環境因素，這些因素並非只單獨作用於個體，還可能透過交互作用後的結果來影響研究對象。雖然，研究對象面對有相似的影響因素，包括（1）生存與招生壓力；（2）組織制度與要求；（3）家庭的支持；（4）教育理念。但這些因素對每位研究對象的影響卻不盡相同。
（四）造成研究對象專業發展差異的影響因素有五個，包括：（1）反思能力；（2）自信；（3）組織願景--藍圖；（4）生存與經濟壓力；（5）角色定位較廣。
研究者發現幼教機構主管的專業發展是一個持續不斷的過程，而其中影響專業發展前進或後退的因素非常的複雜。本研究針對上述發現討論其意義並提出幼教機構主管、主管培育機構及未來研究的建議。

The purpose of this research was to explore preschool director’s professional development and to understand what factors affected their development and how.
The methods of qualitative research have been used to develop a detailed picture of the preschool director’s process of the professional growth and development and to find out its correlates. The subjects included three private preschool directors with six years of managerial experience in Taipei. The major findings are as follows:
1.Each director had her own experience. According to the things
they faced, the situation of their preschools, and the main
point of their works, their professional development were
different.
2.We can divide subjects’ professional development into three
levels. Currently Mrs. Yi is coming to the master level and
Mrs. Hua and Mrs. An are at the competent level. Although
the results and the processes of three director’s
professional development are so different, we still can find
out that the characters of their development are similar.
3.Four factors were found to affect all three subjects’
professional development, although in different ways and to
different extents, including: economic and survival of the
organization, supervisor’s demands toward profit, family
support, and directors’ educational beliefs.
4.Five factors were found to cause different professional
development in the subjects, including: director’s
reflective ability, appropriate self-confidence, vision,
economic pressure, and multiple roles.
These factors interacted whit each other, and the way they interacted were different for each subject, and subsequently resulted in different processes and stages of professional development. The findings and their implications were discussed, and future research directions were also suggested.
