家長式領導是華人社會特有的領導型態之一，其特色是在一種人 治的氛圍下，彰顯父親般的仁慈與威嚴，並具有道德的無私典範。針 對此一現象，目前已有文化根源的分析與槪念的探討，可昔仍未有量化的實徵性硏究，理由是欠缺具一定信、效度的工具，來測量此一槪 念。本文的目的即在過去的硏究基礎上，補足此一缺口，根據家長式 領導的三種組成要素：威權、仁慈及德行1來編製家長式領導量表 (Paternalistic Leadership Scale，PLS )，並以確認性因素分析 (confirmatory factor analysis)來檢驗其槪念建構。結果顯示，在台 灣企業組織與教育組織的樣本中，證明了此量表具有不錯的內部一致 性信度，且不論是仁慈、德行及威權分量表，或整個家長式領導三元 模式的確認性因素分析，皆現出不錯的建構效度。最後，討論了本硏 究的結果及家長式領導的未來硏究方向。

Paternalistic leadership, an indigenous leadership style in Chinese societies, is characterized by revealing fatherly benevolence and authoritarianism with moral integrity in a “personalistic” atmosphere. Using this definition，a triad model of paternalistic leadership was theoretically built and traced to Chinese cultural origins. However, up to the present, there is no quantitative empirical research in this domain. This study was designed to complement this defect. According to the three constituent elements of paternalistic leadership (PL)，namely， authoritarianism, benevolence, and morality, we constructed the Paternalistic Leadership Scale (PLS) and employed confirmatory factor analysis to examine its factorial composition. Within the samples from business organizations and education institutions in Taiwan, this scale was shown to have adequate internal consistency and clear factorial structure. Moreover, the PLS correlated with several related measures in a predictable manner. We concluded with discussion of our research findings, limitations, and implications for future research on paternalistic leadership.
