The research results were as follows: 1. The educational institution administrators, teachers, and officials had an overall high level of satisfaction with personnel administration. The aspect with the highest average score was personnel planning, followed by performance evaluation, personnel development, and personnel retention, with recruitment and selection having the lowest mean score. 2. The educational institution administrators, teachers, and officials rated personnel administration based on the Four Sangahavatthu at a high level overall. When considering specific aspects, the highest-scoring principle was personnel planning according to Atthacariya, followed by performance evaluation according to Samanattata, personnel development according to Dana, and personnel retention according to Piyavaca. The lowest-scoring aspect was recruitment and selection according to Atthacariya. 3.The proposed guidelines for personnel administration based on the Four Sangahavatthu are as follows: Aspect 1: Educational institution administrators have established an advisory committee to guide the preparation of a personnel plan. Aspect 2: Educational institution administrators announce recruitment at the beginning of the academic year because it's seen as the best time to select individuals with substantial knowledge and skills. This allows for effective screening and selection. Aspect 3: Educational institution administrators conduct a survey of personnel needs and budget to align with the development plan. This information supports planning for personnel development. Aspect 4: Educational institution administrators provide clarifications and encourage personnel to share their opinions on management, decision-making, and responsibility. This approach helps staff understand the organization's operational goals and builds their confidence. Aspect 5: Educational institution administrators have established a standardized system for evaluating performance. This system allows them to use the evaluation results and recorded information to improve and address personnel shortcomings.
