Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the components of digital leadership of school administrators, and 2) to analyze the confirmatory components of digital leadership of school administrators under Khon Kaen Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. This study employed a quantitative research design. The sample consisted of 500 school administrators and teachers under Khon Kaen Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, selected according to the criteria of Comrey and Lee (1992) using stratified random sampling. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire with a 5-point rating scale. The content validity of the questionnaire, assessed by the 
Item-Objective Congruence, was 1, and the reliability of the entire questionnaire was 0.96The statistics used for data analysis included percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviations, and confirmatory factor analysis.

2) The confirmatory factor analysis of digital leadership of school administrators revealed that the component model showed a good fit with the empirical data, X² = 34.057, p = 0.133, indicating no statistically significant difference. The model fit indices were SRMR = 0.009, RMSEA = 0.018, CFI = 0.999, and TLI = 0.998. All factor loadings of the five components were positive, ranging from 0.903 to 0.984, and were statistically significant at the 0.01 level.
