Abstract
This mixed-methods research aimed to: (1) examine the levels of school administrators' creative leadership; (2) investigate the levels of community participation; (3) compare both variables based on personal factors; (4) analyze creative leadership affecting community participation; and (5) establish guidelines for developing creative leadership under Narathiwat Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The sample comprised 328 school teachers selected via convenient sampling, and 5 school administrators served as key informants selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a 5-point rating scale questionnaire (reliability = 0.774) and a semi-structured interview form. Data were analyzed using basic statistics, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, LSD, and Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results revealed that: (1) The overall creative leadership was at the highest level. (2) The overall community participation was at a high level. (3) Demographic comparisons showed no significant differences in the overall view, except for a significant difference in operational participation when classified by age at the 0.05 level. (4) Creative leadership in flexibility and creativity significantly predicted community participation at 17.30% with statistical significance at the 0.05 level. (5) Development guidelines emphasize shifting mindsets, establishing a shared vision with the community, utilizing digital technology and social media for network building, and promoting lifelong learning to effectively adapt to changes.
