Abstract
In recent years, due to gradual worsening situation of the
government fiscal income and expenditure, educational expenditure has
suffered austerity. Therefore, to activate school management and
administration, and to enhance competitiveness, in 2007, seven senior
high schools, which had higher occurrence of self fundraising and had a
higher tendency to put the system of Funds for General Affairs into
practice, were chosen to try out feasibility of the school fund system in
national high schools by Ministry of Education. In 2008, another 37
national high schools adopted the system, and in 2009, another 55
included. By now in 2010, the fund system has been being put into
practice in all the senior high schools, 178 in total, in Taiwan.
The subjects of the study are aimed at all the administrative staff
of the national high schools, which have been implementing the system
since 2009, in Changhua County. In addition to discussion of documents,
framework of constructing the research, and research hypotheses,
questionnaires are used as one of the research tools. The content of the
questionnaires includes three sections: background information of the
subjects, an inventory measuring of self-awareness of the school fund
system, and job satisfaction. 281 valid sample data was analyzed and
processed using descriptive statistics performed by statistical package
SPSS for Window (Version 12.0), independent t-test, one-way-ANOVA,
product-moment correlation, stepwise regression and so on.
The finding of the research:
1. The cognition degree on the school fund system of the subjects: the
perception of job content ranks first and the perception of motivation
ranks last. In the survey of job satisfaction, subjects are most satisfied
with their salaries and benefits and least with their working
environment.
2. The relation between subjects’ background variables and the cognition
degree on the school fund system: highly-educated are more cognitive,
and administrative staff is more cognitive than principals and
part-time administrative teachers. In the survey of job satisfaction,
highly-educated subjects are more satisfied with their jobs. In the
survey of working environment satisfaction, senior staff is more
III
satisfied than junior staff. In the survey of interpersonal relationship,
junior staff is more satisfied than senior staff. In the survey of different
positions, principals and part-time administrative teachers have a
higher sense of satisfaction than administrative staff.
3. The fund system is found in moderate positive relation with job
satisfaction.
4. As to the predictions about job satisfaction, the fund system is the
most potential.
