Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the super leadership of school administrators and the effectiveness of schools under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1, and 2) to study the relationship between the super leadership of school administrators and the effectiveness of schools under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1. The sample consisted of 317 government teachers working in schools under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1. The sample size was determined using Krejcie & Morgan’s table, and the participants were selected using stratified random sampling and simple random sampling methods. The research instrument was a 5-point rating scale questionnaire with an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) index of 0.95 and a reliability coefficient of 0.985. The statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The research findings were as follows: 1. The super leadership of school administrators under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1, overall and in every aspect, was at a high level. 2. The effectiveness of schools under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1, overall and in every aspect, was at a high level. 3. The relationship between the super leadership of school administrators and the effectiveness of school under the Office of Pathumthani Primary Educational Service Area 1 was found to be a high positive correlation, which was statistical significance at the .01 level. In particular, the findings suggest that students’ academic achievement should be further developed, and that the promotion of positive attitudes should be emphasized in order to enhance overall school effectiveness.
