Abstract

This research aimed to 1) examine the level of strategic leadership of school ‎administrators under the local administrative organizations in Khon Kaen Province, and 2) ‎compare the strategic leadership of school administrators classified by educational ‎qualification and work experience. The sample group consisted of 310 school administrators ‎and teachers in educational institutions under the local administrative organizations in Khon ‎Kaen Province. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's table. The ‎research instrument was a five-point rating scale questionnaire with an Index of Item-‎Objective Congruence (IOC) of 1.00 and a reliability coefficient of 0.974. The statistics used for ‎data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and One-Way ANOVA. ‎When statistically significant differences were found, pairwise comparisons were conducted ‎using the Scheffé method.‎


          The research findings revealed that;


          1) the overall level of strategic leadership of ‎school administrators under the local administrative organizations in Khon Kaen Province was ‎at a high level. Considering each aspect, all aspects were also at a high level. The aspect with ‎the highest mean score was building confidence and motivation, followed by strategic ‎thinking and vision, while teamwork had the lowest mean score; and


           2) the comparison of ‎strategic leadership classified by educational qualification showed no statistically significant ‎differences at the .05 level in both overall and individual aspects. When classified by work ‎experience, the overall results showed no significant differences; however, in individual ‎aspects, good communication and teamwork showed statistically significant differences at ‎the .01 and .05 levels, respectively. The pairwise comparison indicated that administrators ‎with less than 5 years of experience and those with more than 11 years of experience ‎demonstrated higher levels of practice than those with 6–10 years of experience.‎
