Finally, according to the relative literature and main conclusions of this study, the researcher offers some suggestions for improving the principal leadership and teachers'''' collegiality.
The research method adopted in this study is the survey method with a questionnaire. The survey instrument is entitled in "Questionnaire to survey elementary school principal transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and teachers'''' collegiality," and the reliability and validity of this tool is excellent. The sample of 700 teachers was stratified random sampling from 824 schools in the middle area of Taiwan province. Finally, there were 601valid responses from the survey of the target teachers, and the data was analyzed through the method of descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean and standard deviation, ANOVA, Scheffe'''' method, Pearson''''s product-moment correlation, and multiple regression.
The main findings of this study are as follows:
1.The principal leadership in elementary school of the middle area of Taiwan province can conform to transformational leadership and transactional leadership.
2.The teachers in elementary school of the middle area of Taiwan province usually have collegiality behaviors.
3.Male principal''''s leadership is more conformable to transformational leadership, and miniature''''s school principals are more conformable to transformational leadership and transactional leadership in the meanwhile.
4.Teachers'''' collegiality differs because of the teachers'''' sex, qualification, position, school''''s scale, and location.
