優勢本位領導培訓與實施對國小校長優勢本位領導力影響之研究

The Impact of Strengths-Based Leadership Training and Implementation on the Strengths-Based Leadership Competencies of Elementary School Principals

本研究旨在探究國小初任校長優勢本位領導培訓與實施的成效，研究採不等組前後設計準實驗研究法、問卷調查法、以及焦點團體訪談法。以38位國小初任校長為研究對象，其中，19位實驗組校長接受校長優勢本位領導之培訓，而對照組19位校長則否，並於實驗前後測量校長優勢本位領導力，藉以瞭解優勢本位領導培訓的效果。而焦點團體訪談，則以滾雪球抽樣從實驗組抽取10位校長及其學校共14教師為訪談對象，藉以深入瞭解優勢本位領導培訓與實施的成效。研究結果為：（一）國民小學初任校長具有良好的優勢本位領導力；（二）校長優勢本位領導的培訓與實施，能有效提升國民小學初任校長「執行力、關係建立力、影響力、策略思考力、希望營造力」之優勢本位領導力。根據研究結論，本研究提出相關建議，俾供實務及未來研究之參考。

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of strengths-based leadership training and implementation on elementary school principals. A nonequivalent control group quasiexperimental design was adopted, supplemented with surveys and focus group interviews. A total of 38 newly appointed elementary school principals participated in the quasiexperimental design, with 19 assigned to the treatment group, which received strengths-based leadership training, and 19 to the control group, which did not. Principals’strengths-based leadership competencies were measured before and after the intervention to evaluate program effectiveness. In addition, focus group interviews were conducted using snowball sampling, selecting 10 principals from the treatment group along with 14 teachers from their respective schools. The purpose was to gain deeper insights into the effectiveness of the strengths-based leadership training and its implementation. The main findings of this study are as follows: (1) newly appointed principals generally demonstrated solid strengths-based leadership competencies; and (2) the training and implementation significantly enhanced competencies in executing, relationship building, influencing, strategic thinking, and hope-building. Based on these findings, the study offers recommendations for practice and directions for future research.
