本研究的主要目的，在於探討學校本位管理的內涵與實施原則，並調查瞭解國民中小學對於實施學校本位管理的意見，以及目前國民中小學校務決定的情形，綜合研究發現，提出供作將來實施學校本位管理和學校行政管理的參考。
為達成上述目的，本研究採文獻分析與問卷調查的方法，首先透過理論分析，探討學校本位管理的內涵實施原則，以瞭解學校本位管理的發展、意義、範圍、參與成員的任務、原則、作法、模式、功能、困難及配合措施；其次，根據文獻探討的結果，編製「國民中小學實施學校本位管理調查問卷」，進行調查研究，藉以瞭解國民中小學學校教育人員對於實施學校本位管理的意見與目前各校校務決定的參與情形；最後根據研究結論，提出具體建議。 本研究調查對象為台灣省、台北市、高雄市公立國民中小學的學校教育人員，共抽出83所學校，發出1024份問卷，實得有效樣本803份，問卷處理則採用SPSS for Windows統計套裝軟體進行統計分析。
綜合文獻分析與問卷調查所得之資料，得到以下結論：
一、國民中小學實施學校本位管理可發揮多重功能。
二、國民中小學可自主決定的範圍包括預算、課程與教學及人事三項，目前這三項的自主程度尚不高。
三、國民中小學自主權須透過具體的作法予以落實。
四、學校本位管理的參與成員應包括校長、學校主任、組長、教師、家長，有時可加入教育行政機關人員、專家、學生、社區人員。
五、學校本位管理的參與人員各有其角色任務。
六、國民中小學實施學校本位管理是可行的，但可能會遭遇一些困難。
七、國民中小學欲實施學校本位管理需要實行一些配合措施。
八、不同背景的學校對學校本位管理的意見或實施情形大同小異。
九、不同現職的填答者對學校本位管理的意見大同小異。
根據研究結論，對教育行政機關將來實施學校本位管理時和國民中小學的學校行政管理提出下列建議：
一、應積極推動國民中小學實施學校本位管理。
二、教育行政機關應明訂學校自主決定的範圍，提高學校的自主程度。
三、修訂相關法令，以落實學校本位管理。

六、教育行政機關必須明訂教育基本目標及原則供學校遵循，並提供必要的支援與服務。
七、學校可積極成立學校本位管理委員會，來參與學校自主事務的決定，並明訂其權責和組織辦法。
八、建立管理資訊系統，以利學校本位管理資訊的流通。
九、建立評鑑制度，落實學校本位管理的績效責任。
十、可先選擇幾所學校開始試辦，再視試辦成果決定是否擴大或全面實施。
