摘要

本研究旨在探討幼兒園僕人領導之現況，並據以提出結論與建議，期能提供教育行政機關和幼兒園園長運在僕人領導現況之參考，以提升幼兒教育品質。本研究採取文獻分析與問卷調查進行研究。首先，蒐集相關文獻作為研究主題的理論基礎，據以擬定研究架構，進而編製「幼兒園園長僕人領導行為量表」問卷作為研究工具。
其次，以台灣地區幼兒園650位教師進行抽樣調查，取得有效樣本458份，調查結果以平均數、標準差、t考驗、單因子變異數分析等統計方法，進行資料處理分析，獲得以下結論：
一、幼兒園園長僕人領導行為量表調查結果，得到幼兒園園長僕人領導行為層面每題平均得分表現依序為「傾聽瞭解」為4.06、「建立社群、承諾」為4.01、「說服、服務行為」為4.00、「真誠鼓勵」為3.98。
二、整體題項中，以「園長可以充分的讓教師表達意見」得分最高；以「園長會主動的幫助教師解決問題」得分最低。
三、在幼兒園園長僕人領導行為量表不同園所背景變項在幼兒園地區、 幼兒園規模、幼兒園歷史、園長性別，無顯著差異；幼兒園經營權屬性私立幼兒園園長表現比公立幼兒園園長較佳。
四、在幼兒園園長僕人領導行為量表不同背景教師在年齡、學歷、年資、是否擔任行政職務教師上具有顯著差異。
根據研究過程與結果，本研究提出以下之建議：
一、主動接觸學校教師，發揮領導影響力。
二、實踐僕人領導理論，提升教師工作意願。
三、鼓勵教師了解園所經營方向，以利凝聚園所願景與共識。
四、增進幼兒園園長和教師的經驗交流與傳承。
五、建立幼兒園同儕成長機制，形成行動研究學習社群。

The present study is to investigate the current status of the early childhood programs’ servant leadership and then propose conclusions and suggestions. It is hoped that the results of the study can benefit educational administrative authorities and the directors of early childhood programs in the application of servant leadership and thus enhance the quality of early childhood education. A literature review and a questionnaire survey have been conducted for the present study. We first collected relevant literature as a basis of this study to determine the framework of the study, and then constructed the questionnaire, “early childhood programs’ servant leadership behavior scale”, as a research tool.
The subjects for this study were sampled from the early childhood edu-carers of the early childhood programs in Taiwan. A total of 650 questionnaires were distributed and a total of 458 valid questionnaires were returned. The data collected were analyzed statistically with mean, standard deviation, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. The conclusions are summarized as follows:
1.According to the results of the questionnaire survey on “early childhood program director’s servant leadership behavior scale”, the average scores in descending order for each item on the dimension, the servant leadership behavior of early childhood programs’ directors, are “listening and understanding” scoring 4.06, “building communities and commitments” scoring 4.01, “persuasion and service behavior” scoring 4.00, and “sincere encouragement” scoring 3.98.
2.Among overall question items, the question item, “the director allows early childhood teacher to fully express their opinions” has the highest score; and the question item, “the director actively assists early childhood edu-carers with problem-solving” has the lowest score.
3.The background variables of early childhood programs do not yield significant difference in the scores on the early childhood programs’ director servant leadership behavior scale. That is, there is no significant difference among different early childhood programs in different areas, having different sizes, history, or genders of directors. The directors of private early childhood programs perform better than those of public early childhood programs.
4.There are significant differences in the scores on the early childhood programs’ director servant leadership behavior scale among the early childhood edu-carers with different backgrounds, such as different ages, different educational levels, different years of service, and having an administrative position or not.
According to the results of the study, we proposed the following suggestions:
1. Actively contact early childhood edu-carers and play a leading influential role.
2.Put the theory of servant leadership into practice and increase early childhood edu-carers’ motivation at work.
3.Encourage early childhood edu-carers to understand their early childhood program’s direction and build a common consensus on their early childhood program’s future.
4.Promote the experience exchange and pass-on between early childhood programs’ directors and edu-carers.
5.Develop peer-development mechanisms and form action and study groups for early childhood programs.
