From a series of frequent changes in National Educational Policy, the tendency of teachers associations and parents associations together joining school operation, these changes in educational administration environment made the school administrative duty become different from before. The changes also influenced the willing for teachers to take on administrative works. Most of the existing research documents discussed the causes from educational environment, campus environment, lead of principal, and personal characteristics. However, in these documents, it can be found that socialization tactics of the school administrative system, and how much the teachers who are on administrative duty are socialized can influence the teachers’ retaining willing, administrative pressure, and administrative productivity. Therefore, this research is aimed to discuss these common issues from the new aspect of organizational socialization, and to understand the socializational process of the teachers who are on administrative duty. In respect of the research methods, we took a Taichung junior high school as the case to conduct the research of socializational process of the teachers serving concurrently as administrators and how the process influenced each teacher. As for data collection, we adopted research-oriented semi-structured interview, and used the convenience sampling method to pick 7 respondents. The research results can be divided into two main parts: 1.The features in the socialization process of the teachers serving concurrently as administrators: i) In respect of “performance proficiency,” besides formal study trainings and explanation of predecessors, documents, communication software, Internet information and business-related firms are also important manners. ii) When promoting new educational policies and projects, the teachers serving concurrently as administrators mainly learn through a collective way. iii) Part of the formal system within the school organization is one of the important occasions for the socialization of the teachers who are on administrative duty. iv) In respect of “goals and values,” the influence of socialization strategies by Education Bureau and school are weak. v) Whether teachers’ socialization in school educational system is successful or not has important influence on teachers’ willing to concurrently take on administrative works. vi) Having the educational background and private sector working experiences that can build up team work literacy is of great help to teachers’ suitability for taking on administrative works after entering public schools. 2.Socialization related factors influencing the retaining willing and work pressure of the teachers serving concurrently as administrators: i) In respect of “performance proficiency”: Business that requires highly professional knowledge and personnel management in work give pressures to the teachers who are on administrative duty. ii) In respect of “people”: When the teachers who are on administrative duty have insufficient interpersonal familiarity among the school full-time teachers, their administrative works may be questioned, which leads to low retaining willing. iii) In respect of “goals and values”: The teachers who are on administrative duty have low recognition toward the values and goals of the administrative system. They think administrative works are meaningless. The long term accumulation of these thoughts causes the idea of quitting job.
