本研究之主要研究目的有四：1.分析國中校長工作時間的分配情形。2.探討國中校長時間管理的干擾及困難因素。3.探討國中校長時間管理的策略。4.研擬改進國中校長時間管理的建議。為達成上述目的，本研究編製「國中校長時間管理調查問卷」，研究樣本係以台灣省二十一個縣市、台北市及高雄市之公立國中校長為對象，實施抽樣調查，共抽得學校472所，回收率81.14%，可用率78.39%，蒐集的資料均加以統計分析。本研究除問卷調查外，另設計「國中校長時間管理紀錄表」，請九位校長實施為期兩週的時間管理紀錄，與問卷調查結果相對照，以便深入了解其實況。綜合文獻探討、問卷調查與軼事紀錄，歸納以下主要研究發現：一．國中校長工作時間的分配情形：.以學校處室來分，國中校長分配在訓導處的時間最多，其次為教務處、總務處、輔導室、人事室、會計室。.國中校長分配在學校各處室的時間，因「年齡」、「服務地區」、「學校規模」不同而有顯著差異。.以「工作內容」來分，國中校長分配在教學視導的時間最多，其次為行政領導、事務管理、組織發展、學生輔導、公共關係。.國中校長分配在工作內容的時間，因「年齡」不同而有顯著差異。.以「交際對象」來分，國中校長分配在學校同事的時間最多，其次為學生家長、社區民眾、校長同仁、民意代表、上級長官。.國中校長分配在交際對象的時間，因「年齡」、「校長年資」不同而有顯著差異。二．影響國中校長時間有效利用的因素：.國中校長時間管理的干擾因素，依其干擾程度由高至低依序為「經常參加會議及各項活動」、「不速之客造訪」、「學校偶發事件處理」、「與人溝通協調」、「電話干擾不斷」、「書面資料及公文處理費時」。.國中校長時間管理的困難因素，依其困難程度由難至易依序為「臨時性、突發性的事太多，無法規畫」、「缺乏時間管理的課程或研習」、「教育界歷來沒有時間管理的觀念」、「工作太忙，沒有時間做規畫」、「有事情隨即處理，不必規畫」。三．國中校長時間管理策略：.國中校長時間管理最常使用的策略，依其次數多寡依序為「合理授權，高度信任同仁」、「有效主持會議並加以執行」、 「依目標及優先順序規劃時間」、「建立檔案系統，有效處理文件」。.國中校長對「時間的掌握」、「時間的規畫」、「職務的授權」、「電話及公關管理」、「會議及文件處理」、「作決定」等 六個時間管理策略的層面都掌握得很好，不因受試者變項不同而有顯著差異。根據研究結論，對國中校長時間管理提出下列建議：一．對教育行政主管機關的建議：.因應教育改革之需求，調整學校行政組織。.多開設時間管理課程及舉辦時間管理研習。.減少校長參加開會次數並避免不必要的活動。.訂定校園危機處理流程，增進校長處理偶發事件能力。.辦理教學視導研習，加強校長教學視導專業知能。二．對國中校長的建議：.積極參加時間管理的課程或研習，提昇時間管理能力。.加強運用時間管理策略，減輕時間管理的困擾。.結合訓導與輔導功能，利用時間有效輔導學生。.使用電腦等輔助工具，以節省工作時間。.分配較多時間在管理層面，減少作業層面的時間。
