本研究的主要目的在於實境檢證家長式領導風格之內涵，觀察校長領導行為的展現是否符合家長式領導風格之假設。進一步則剖析家長式領導行為與貫徹命令、部屬服從之關係，同時也探討組織和諧與命令需求、服從需求間的關係型式。本研究以家長式領導風格實境觀研究成果為基礎，發展了國民小學家長式領導型態之模型。此一模型可以提供校長作為善領導效能策略方法之應用，並做為校長經營學校、領導教職員工時的思維基礎。研究者透過家推薦的方式，選定一位領導風格符合研究假設需要之國民小學校長做為研究對象，並以實地實驗之研究方法，進行長期變項的研究分析，並驗證結果作為假設考驗之據。本研究亦對「家父長角色的型塑」、「命令與服從」及「組織和諧」兩大需求的關係、及「家長式領導策略」等進行分析討論。文未並針對實應用與未來之研究方向提出具體可行之建議。
