The in-depth interview method was adopted in the research, and interviewees are directors who have assumed the offices less than three years in Chiayi county elementary schools. My concern is to discuss the adaptation from general teachers to directors, and to understand the tactics of power exercise and conflict management as a novice. Based on the research, conclusions result as below: 1.Novice directors often feel confused on determining the priority between jobs and my colleagues, and even anxious for the shocking reality at novitiate. 2.Novice directors look for social capitals such as supports of the staffs, director fellows, ex-colleagues and the professionals to solve the predicaments at work. 3.Novice directors get used to school administration and the personalities of the staffs with years. The tactics to exercise power of their colleagues will starts with protection strategy, then compromise strategy, and finally influence strategy after getting familiar with the school ‘s social capitals. 4.Since the principles assign the position, novice directors will take the protection strategy on their political power for repaying the favor of them and submit to their authorities eventually. 5.Novice directors consider themselves as a bridge between groups of different interests and within a group. 6.Novice directors will find out the potential factors of conflicts among the related persons and try to find methods to solve those conflicts. Based on these conclusions, here provides some suggestions for other novice directors, education authorities and future research.
