The purpose of the current study is to investigate public school teachers’ attitudes toward possible changes in areas of quality of work life, organizational commitment, and workers’ behavior due to private management within public school. The differences in their current and future attitudes are specifically examined. Participants are recruited from 18 elementary schools and eight middle schools within the school district of Chia-Yi City. 575 packages of questionnaires are mailed directly to school teachers, and 455 of them are received. The total number of packages of questionnaires are 402, deleting invalid 53 ones. There are three types of hypotheses: first, correlates of individual differences in targeted variables; second, inter-relatedness among targeted variables; and third, influences among targeted variables. Statistical analyses for collected data include reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test analysis, one-way ANOVA, correlational and regression analyses.
