The collected data were analyzed by t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The conclusions of this study were as follows:
1. The present status of elementary school teachers¡¦ leadership behavior is over the average. They perform best on ¡§intellectual stimulation¡¨ and ¡§active management-by-exception ¡¨ but worst on ¡§passive management-by-exception¡¨.
2. The present status of elementary school teachers¡¦ performance on classroom management effectiveness is over the average. They perform best on ¡§teaching quality¡¨ but worst on ¡§class manners¡¨.
3.Better performance in teachers¡¦ leadership behavior was found for the ones who were female, 6 to 10 years of serving, and at schools with the scale under 24 classes.
4. Better performance in classroom management effectiveness was found for the ones who were female, 6 to 10 years of serving, at schools with the scale under 24 classes,and with the number of students between 21-30 in class.
