本研究旨在瞭解偏遠地區學校教師留任抉擇，以高雄市偏遠地區國小教師為例，探討偏遠地區教師留任情形及影響偏遠地區教師留任因素抉擇探究。研究者經立意取樣以高雄市現行已留任及曾任教於偏遠地區國小教師6人為訪談研究象，進行半結構式深度訪談。根據觀察與訪談結果的分析，歸納出本研究的主要結論如下：一、校長以德行領導、仁慈領導風格，可增加偏遠地區教師留任意願；威權式領導及差序式領導中的偏惡對待，會減少偏遠地區教師留任意願。二、學校組織氣氛良好，可增加偏遠地區教師留任意願；學校組織氣氛不佳，會減少偏遠地區教師留任意願。三、教師人格特質並非影響偏遠地區教師留任因素；此外，留任於偏遠地區教師傾向內控型人格特質較多，外控型人格特質較少。四、偏遠地區教師對於偏遠地區學校教育發展條例與其他相關法規條例規定持正面看法，但對偏遠地區教師留任因素影響並非絕對。五、「家庭因素」是其他影響偏遠地區教師留任抉擇分析的因素中最重要的。最後根據以上研究結果，提出建議，俾提供主管教育行政機關、偏遠地區國民小學以及未來研究者之參考。
