The three purposes of this research were: 1) To study the academic leadership of the school directors and the effectiveness of the schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Administration Organization; 2) To study the relationship between the academic leadership of the directors and the effectiveness of the schools; and 3) To study the aspects of academic leadership of the directors affecting the effectiveness of the schools. The sample was a total of 50 schools studied in the Academic Year 2018. They were selected by stratified sampling in accordance with their proportion in the population of schools in the province. There were 5 informants in each school, totaling 250 informants. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire, with a five-point rating scale for each item, on the academic leadership of the school directors and the school effectiveness. The statistics used to analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The two main results were:
Academic leadership of the school directors and the effectiveness of the schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Administrative Organization, overall and in five individual aspects, were at a high level; and Academic leadership of the school directors in all five aspects positively correlated with the school effectiveness. The directors’ academic leadership in all 5 aspects predicted approximately 70% of the variance of the effectiveness of schools under Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Administrative Organization. The predictive variables having the highest power were Academic Knowledge and Performance of Teachers.
