First, the researcher gathered studies which were related to the difficulties that the beginning school principals’ needed to face, the role of competing value and elementary school teachers’ teaching commitment, and then the researcher explored and analyzed all collected studies and data. Based on the analyzed data, the researcher proposed study structure and developed a questionnaire entitled “The Questionnaire of the Relationship between Beginning School Principals’ Leading Role of Competing Value and Elementary School Teachers’ Professional Commitment – A Case Study in Elementary Schools in Kaohsiung County and City” as the instrument to achieve the purpose of the study. Subjects were teachers who worked at schools led by beginning principals for the first year. 603 teachers were drawn from 43 elementary schools in Kaohsiung county and city by multi-stage sampling. 577 portions of questionnaires were valid, a recycle rate of 95.69%. After that, this research conducted data analysis through the SPSS12.0 Software with statistical approaches such like descriptive analytical statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Cluster analysis, Pearson product-moment correlation and Stepwise multiple regression analysis, to examine the research results respectively.
Regarding contestants’ responses to the questionnaire, the conclusions implied by statistical results are stated as follows:
1.The acknowledgement of most elementary school teachers in Kaohsiung county and city on the leading role of school principals’ competing value is above the intermediate level. And yet subjects accept the “People Relationships” the most.
