ADMINISTRATIVE FACTORS AFFECTING SUFFICIENCY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT IN SCHOOLS UNDER THE OFFICE OF UDON THANI PRIMARY EDUCATION SERVICE AREA

Abstract

          The purposes of this research were to: 1) study the level of administrative factors; 2) study the level of sufficiency school management in schools; 3) identify the relationship between administrative factors and sufficiency school management; and 4) create a predictive equation of administrative factors affecting sufficiency school management in schools under the Office of Udon Thani Primary Educational Service Area. The sample consisted of 255 schools administrators, derived by stratified random sampling. The research instrument was two 5 level-rating scale questionnaires. The reliability for the administrative factors was .956 and for the sufficiency school management in schools was .968. The statistics employed in data analysis were mean, percentage, standard deviation, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows:

1. Overall, the administrative factors was at a high level. When considering each factor, the aspects were found at the highest and a high level.


2. Overall, the sufficiency school management was at a high level. When considering each factor, all factors were at the highest level.


3. The administrative factors and sufficiency school management in schools had positive relationship with statistical significance at .01 level.


4. Regarding the predictive equation of the administrative factors affecting sufficient school management in schools under the Office of Udon Thani Primary Educational Service Area, five administrative factors in aspects of information technology application, communication, teachers, management skills, and organizational culture were found the best predators. The correlation coefficient was at .776. The forecast was at the percentage of 60.20 with statistical significance at.01 level. The equations were as follows:

           For raw scores:

           Y =  1.372 + .147(X₆) + .144(X₃) + .154(X₁) + .141(X₅) + .125(X₄)

          For standard scores:

            Z =  .201(X₆) + .202(X₃) + .231(X₁) + .187(X₅) + .194(X₄)
