本研究旨在探討私立大學董事會組織運作與職權效能之相關問題,期藉調查研究與分析,強化私立大學董事會組織運作功能,並提供私立大學董事會與教育主管機關做為私校經營管理及決策研擬之參考。 為達此一目的,本研究採用文獻分析、比較研究方法,蒐集國內外私立大學及其董事會相關組織運作與職權效能之資料,據以建構研究架構,做為實證調查研究設計之基礎。 本研究之工具為自行設計之「財團法人私立大學董事會基本資料調查問卷」暨「私立大學董事會運作現況調查問卷」,前者調查蒐集69所私立大學董事會之基本組織、運作與職權現況,回收48份;後者以1200份問卷調查私立大學董事會人員及大學校務人員,共回收800份,依五點量表計分,並以單因子變異數分析、多重比較及迴歸分析等統計方法,以分析不同性別、年齡、職務、年資、學歷、教育背景及服務學校之差異情形。並輔以焦點座談,以彌補量化無法分析之質性研究。 本研究結果之重點及發現: 一、不同背景的人員在私立大學董事會組織效能方面之認知有差異存在。 二、不同背景的人員在私立大學董事會運作效能方面之認知有差異存在。 三、不同背景的人員在私立大學董事會職權效能方面之認知有差異存在。 四、董事會組織效能、運作效能、職權效能之認知與共識,與目前董事會之現況沒有多大差異。 根據研究結論,本研究提出幾點建議: 一、教育主管機關對私校政策應仿照美、日再做鬆綁,以提高私校競爭力。 二、私立大學董事會的組織功能及運作效能宜再強化,並授權董事會更多經營管理的決策職權。 三、因應大環境的轉型,私立大學董事會及校長之評鑑應更加具體落實,以發揮監督成效。 四、私立大學的相關問題仍多,在後續研究方面宜多鼓勵或支持,俾客觀解決國內私立大學教育問題。
