A Study of Taipei Municipal Junior High Teachers Taking The Positions of Section Chief of Hygiene

The main idea of this thesis is to probe how the statute and execution of being a Taipei municipal junior high teacher and Section Chief of Hygiene (SCH) work and what their inappropriateness is. Besides, some motivational measures would be provided to highly motivate the teachers to take or continue to be at the position of SCH.
This thesis applies the Method of Documentary Analysis (MDA) and the Method of Questionaire Survey (MQS), which covers from every junior high to Taipei municipal junior high, from the statutes to practices, from the other section chiefs to SCH. The research would be proceeded in MDA and MQS.
Chapter One is general introduction, which includes the motivation and the goal of the research, study issue and concept identification, research approach, structure and method, effect and limit of research. Chapter Two is to talk about what the scholars call “ the role conflict”, “work pressure” and “the theory and practice of work motivation” as the theoretical basis and analytic structure of this study.
Chapter Three is to compare, according to the statutes, the role of a Taipei municipal junior high teacher with that of being a chief and the difference between their jobs. Meanwhile, in this chapter, what meeting a chief has to attend would be analyzed, and the differences in the employment, promotion, and treatment between these two jobs would be also illustrated to help make up the motivational measures.
After clarifying the statutes, in Chapter Four, the researcher would analyze both the legal work and the execution of SCH. In addition, the researcher would refer to the suggestions of SCH on the questionnaire survey to make up workable motivational measures.
In the end, there are conclusions and suggestions in Chapter Five for concerning authorities, school staff and supervisors to refer to. This study shows some Findings and suggestions as follows:
