[[abstract]]本研究旨在探究國中校長的政治敏覺力。研究方法係以文獻探討及問卷調查法為主。研究者自編國中校長政治敏覺力評估問卷；α=.944、因素負荷量介於.539 ~ .879、解釋變異量（%）為45.860 ~ 66.567。採分層隨機抽樣，針對全國22縣市之公私立現職國中校長（含附設國中部之高中職校長及中小學校長）實施調查。正式問卷發出376份，回收346份，問卷回收率為92.0%，有效問卷340份，有效率90.4%。問卷資料以描述性統計、t考驗、單因子變異數分析（F檢定、LSD）、Pearson積差相關等統計方法進行分析比較。 問卷調查結果分析顯示：一、不同性別及教職年資的校長，有關校園政治環境適應之理解力達顯著差異；其中，以政治環境掌握之看法的組間差異較為顯著。二、不同學校種類（公私立）、學制、學校歷史、個人最高學歷等之校長，有關校園政治行為因應之行動力達顯著差異；其中，不同學校種類、個人最高學歷之校長，同時在權力運作技能、衝突管理技能、及影響力發揮等三方面有顯著差異。三、不同背景變項的校長，有關校園政治活動順應之反思力，組間差異未達顯著水準。四、不同學校種類及學校歷史的校長，其政治敏覺力有顯著差異。研究建議則提供校長實務工作及後續研究之參考。[[abstract]]The purpose of this study is to explore the political acumen of junior high school principals.
