本研究主要在探討高屏地區國民小學校長危機管理情形。為達到研究目的，乃採問卷調查法，以高屏地區國民小學校長為研究對象，依地區隨機抽取132位校長進行研究，問卷回收123份，經檢視問卷後，合計有效樣本123份，回收可用率為93.18%。本研究主要結論如下：(1)國民小學校長危機管理認知情形愈佳危機管理實際運作也愈好。(2)國民小學校長危機管理認知與危機管理運作具有相當的落差。(3)校長的危機預防認知有助於危機管理的實際運作。(4)校長在危機預防上最大的困難在於對校園危機警覺性不夠；危機處理上在於對危機誤判情勢決策能力不足；危機學習上則在於未建立檢討回饋機制。最後，根據研究結論，提出建議以做為校長學校經營之參考。
