The researcher obtained the conclusions stated as follows: 1. On the subject of primary schools principals’ strategies of knowledge management, terms of “knowledge creation” and “knowledge application” performed the best. “Sources of knowledge” and “knowledge sharing” were dissatisfactory. 2. On the subject of elementary schoolteachers’ commitment to the organization, “willingness of endeavor” was the most significant term; both “identification with the organization” and “tendency of working stability” performed satisfactorily. 3. Aged teachers who have more experiences have a better awareness on principals’ knowledge management and a higher awareness on teachers’ commitment to the organization. 4. Teachers who also take the position of the division directors have stronger commitment to the organization; their awareness on principals’ knowledge management is also stronger. 5.

As compared to teachers in large-sized schools, teachers in mid-sized schools commonly have stronger awareness on principals’ strategies of “knowledge share” and “knowledge application.” 7.

When principals’ have better strategies of knowledge management, the schoolteachers’ commitment to the organization is stronger as well. 8.
