The purposes of this study were: (1) to verify the validity of performance indicators in higher education, (2) to apply appropriate indicators in higher education, and (3) to propose a practical performance indicators model in higher education of Taiwan.

The empirical analysis of this study was based on Wang (1993). Data were collected from the investigation reports of the Universities Middle-term Strategy Program, which was published by the Ministry of Education, and Publications of the National Science Council. To accomplish the above purposes, multiple regression, principal component analysis, cluster analysis, discriminate analysis, and ANOVA were used to analyze the relationships among them.

The major findings of this paper are as follows:

1. There were five shortcomings in the establishment of Taiwan's Performance Indicators model in higher Education.
2. Except for the policies or execution of administration department, academic research merely focused on the analysis of performance indicators for teachers' research productivity.
3. There is close relationship among the performance indicators in the model in higher education, and the existing performance indicators can discriminate among the different types of the accountability for Taiwan's universities.

According to these findings the author postulated some suggestions for managing the universities and improving the performance indicators model in higher education of Taiwan.
