It is hoped that the findings of this research can become basis for offering policy recommendations to educational administrative organizations and administrative office in elementary schools. This research applied qualitative in-depth interviews to conduct interviews with eleven female teachers. Through these interviews, the researcher of this study hopes to understand why these interviewees do not want to advance their career by becoming candidates for the managers. This research intends to achieve four purposes, including: 1. Understanding the status of the female administrators’ lack of intention to become managers in the elementary school. 2. Probing into the influencing factors for the female administrators’ lack of intention to become managers. 3. Analyzing the difficulties faced by the female managers in elementary schools. 4. Providing policy recommendations to policymakers and administrators in the government and schools. Major findings of this study are as follows: 1. Teaching students are the most important thing in female teachers’ career. They can gain happiness and a sense of achievement through teaching students. By doing administrative work, female teachers cannot continue to fully devote their efforts to teaching students. 2. Because of the constraint imposed by the traditional gender role, females have the “Fear of Success”complex. They would sacrifice their opportunities to advance their career in order to devote themselves to educate their children and assist their husbands to develop their career. 3. Being elementary schools’ female managers, they have to face not only the working stress but also multiple pressures outside of their work. As a result, they are not interested in their current life style. 4. Due to the decline of birth rate, the problem of excess teachers is encountered by all county and city governments in Taiwan. This makes excess teachers worry about being transferred to other schools or laid off. They would rather stay at the same school than take a risk to face the unknown situation in the new environment.
