本研究以四個聽語障礙福利社團為研究對象，主要研究目的有三：一、瞭解內部因素如何影響聽語障礙福利社團的治理結構與功能；二、瞭解外部因素如何影響聽語障礙福利社團的治理結構與功能；三、聽語障礙福利社團面臨的治理挑戰為何。 為達上述研究目的，採用文獻分析法及深度訪談法，藉由選取社團法人高雄市聾人協進會、社團法人中華民國啟聰協進會、社團法人高雄市聲暉協會、社團法人中華民國聾人協會等四個聽語障礙福利社團，訪問具有代表性的四位主要受訪者後，獲取豐富寶貴的資料，再經過資料的處理與分析後，獲得以下結論：理監事會有可能因為內部結構特質的不同，如聽語障礙、教育程度、職業類別、輔助單位的設置等，而有不同的治理型態與模式。外部因素有資金的招募、組織活動宣導、志工招募、社會服務方案、政府資金補助等，也因為理監事會功能的發揮與否有顯著的影響。 Four non-profit hearing and speech impaired welfare associations have been chosen for this research study.
