Factors of Administrative Affecting School Effectiveness under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Phichit

Abstract

          The purposes of this research were 1)to study the administrative factors of school, 2)to study the effectiveness of school administration, 3)to study the relationship between administrative factors that are likely to affect school administration effectiveness, 4) and to develop a predictive equation for school administration effectiveness under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Phichit. The sample group consisted of 300 teachers and school administrators. The sample size was determined by using Krejcie and Morgan's table and selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was Likert-scale questionnaire with 84 items, having a reliability coefficient of 0.98. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis.

          The research results revealed that 1) the overall level of administrative factors was high, and 2)the overall effectiveness of school administration was also high. 3)there was a strong correlation between administrative factors and school administration effectiveness. Furthermore, the stepwise 4) multiple regression analysis identified four variables related to personnel development, organizational structure, information technology, and budgeting with statistically significant predictive power at the .05 and .01 levels, collectively explaining 74%of the variance. The predictive equation in raw and standardized scores can be written as:  = .270z₁ + .196z₅ +.163z₆ + .339z₇
