Abstract
The purposes of this research were to: 1) examine the level of digital-era leadership of school administrators; 2) investigate the level of academic administration efficiency of school administrators; 3) study the relationship between digital leadership and academic administration efficiency; and 4) identify the aspects of digital leadership that influence academic administration efficiency of school administrators under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Eastern Bangkok District. The sample consisted of 103 basic education schools under the Eastern Bangkok District. The respondents were 412 individuals, including school directors, deputy directors in charge of academic affairs, heads of academic units, and teachers. The research instrument was a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.981. Data were analyzed using a statistical software package, employing frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The results revealed that: 1) the overall level of digital-era leadership of school administrators was high; 2) the overall level of academic administration efficiency was at the highest level; 3) digital leadership had a positive and statistically significant relationship with academic administration efficiency at the .01 level, with correlation coefficients ranging from .728 to .771; and 4) three components of digital leadership including digital vision, digital communication, and digital morality and ethics significantly predicted academic administration efficiency, with a multiple correlation coefficient of .810 and predictive power of 65.60 percent. The prediction equations were:
= 1.266 + 0.324X1 + 0.279X3 + 0.162X4
= 0.367 Z 1 + 0.303 Z 3 + 0.187 Z 4
