On the one hand, the difference among those teachers in respect of their principals’ transformational leadership and the organizational learning due to the difference of each teacher’s background, a variable, was investigated. On the other hand, the various dimensions of the principals’ transformational leadership and of the organizational learning as well as the correlation between overall transformational leadership and overall organizational learning were discussed. Finally, substantial and feasible execution strategies were submitted based on the study findings and conclusions as a reference for school administration and relevant research. Questionnaire survey was applied to information collection. And, with stratified random sampling conducted, the study subjects, teachers of the public elementary schools in Pingtung County, were surveyed. 738 questionnaires were sent to them and 653 questionnaires were returned. The return rate was 88.48%. With 599 effective samples, the return rate of the effective questionnaires was 81.17%. The self-administered questionnaires, “Questionnaire on the Transformational Leadership of Elementary School Principals” and “Questionnaire on the Organizational Learning of Elementary Schools”, were utilized as the study tools.
