博士 === 國立東華大學 === 國民教育研究所 === 98 === Abstract The main purpose of this study is to explore the three causal pathways and correlations among the human resource management, teachers’ core competency and school’s competitive advantage in elementary school and analyze the perception of the teachers from different backgrounds to the three variables. The researcher compiled the self-made questionnaire of “the correlations among the human resource management, teachers’ core competency and school’s competitive advantage in elementary school” as a tool, took the public elementary schools in 22 counties and cities (including Taipei and Kaohsiung) of Taiwan island as the respondents to survey 1606 teachers from 118 public elementary schools, and then collected 1173 valid questionnaires from 85 schools. The response rate was 73.04% and effective rate 92.24%. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, canonical correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis, and linear structural modeling. In this study, the variable of human resource management was divided into five dimensions of human appointment, manpower planning, human incentive, human development, and human performance evaluation strategy; the variable of the teachers’ core competency into four dimensions of curriculum planning capacity, class management capacity, teaching development skills, and interpersonal communication skills; the variable of the school’s competitive advantage into six dimensions of resource, administration and management, organizational capacity, environmental equipment, performance, and the image. The main findings of this study are as follows: A. There is a middle-to-high level about the operation of the human resource management in elementary school. Human incentive of the human resource management is rated the highest by the subjects. B. Teachers of male, senior and inexperienced, teachers with administrative duties and above graduate education background, and teachers in small scaled schools, remote districts schools and less years of school perceive higher school’s human resource management. C. Core competency of elementary school teachers is classified as high degree level. Class management capacity of teachers’ core competency is in the highest score. D. Teachers of senior and inexperienced and teachers with administrative duties perceive higher teachers’ core competency. E. Competitive advantage of elementary schools is classified as high degree level. The organizational capacity advantage is rated the highest scores in the perception of school’s competitive advantage. F. Teachers of male, senior, inexperienced and higher education background, teachers with administrative duties, and teachers in small scaled schools, remote districts schools and more than 51 years of school perceive higher schools’ competitive advantage. G. Human resource management, core competency and competitive advantage in elementary school are highly correlated between. H. Human resource management and teachers’ core competency have a high degree of predictability to school’s competitive advantage. I. The linear structural modeling about human resource management and teachers’ core competency to school’s competitive advantage in elementary school matches good, and human resource management and teachers’ core competency have a significant effect on school’s competitive advantage.
