碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 100 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the models of leadership of the juvenile correction schools and management effectiveness. Besides, I tried to find the most effective and promising models of leadership that the faculty thinks. Through the results, I also want to help people select the principals of the juvenile correction schools, amend the relevant laws, and give the future principals some practical information as the references of the models of leadership. I adopted the grounded theory of qualitative research method. I had semi-structured depth interviews with the senior faculty who worked with the two principals. Moreover, I helped the principals about the statistics of students who violated the regulations, the records of the faculty about their rewards and punishment, the numbers of faculty who left the schools and how long they worked. I used the triangulation method to cross-analyze the data. Based on the findings, I summarized the following conclusions. One principal's leadership model is task-oriented. He can create great management effectiveness by firm leadership. The other principal's leadership focuses on interpersonal relationship. But the vague leadership leads to poor management effectiveness. From the conclusions, I found that the management effectiveness of the correction schools is related to the leaders' personality and their leadership models. To help the leaders manage the organizations, we can improve the system to rationalize the structures. For example, the leaders should have enough experience and knowledge about correction and administration. Also, leaders should combine life management with guard. Finally, based on the research results, I suggested that the contingency style of leadership should be more appropriate. In addition, we should revise the qualifications of the principals of the juvenile correction schools. In order to mature the juvenile correction schools instead of wasting time and money of establishing them, the principals should improve their organizational leadership by further study and convene the committee of remedial education as soon as possible.
