本文探討地方教育領導、組織績效及其彼此之關係。本研究以轉型領導作為地方教育領導的理論架構，探究科層運作的教育行政機構所展現的轉型領導，分別由塑造地方教育願景、發展組織人力、再造組織運作及管理方案等四個層面。而對於縣巿教育局（處）組織運作效能和教育品質表現的程度，則以「投入−過程−結果」的系統模式，進行組織績效評估，分別由縣巿教育局（處）對於環境敏察力、資源整合力及目標執行力等三個層面的表現程度，檢核縣巿教育局（處）教育力。本文採用問卷調查法，透過自編地方教育領導與組織績效關係之研究調查問卷，對於台灣各縣巿教育局（處）及所屬公立國民中小學教育人員進行施測，蒐集376份有效樣本資料進行分析。研究結果發現，縣巿教育局（處）地方教育領導以塑造教育願景層面表現最優，縣巿教育局（處）組織績效以環境敏察力層面的表現最高，而不同職務與機關教育人員對於地方教育領導和組織績效知覺具有顯著差異，地方教育領導與組織績效之間具有正相關，教育局（處）若能強化發展組織人力與再造組織運作的領導表現，則能增加組織績效。
