Abstract

This research aims to study 1) the level of leadership of educational institution administrators under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42, 2) the level of the operational effectiveness of the educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42, 3) the relationship between leadership of educational institution administrators and the operational effectiveness of the educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 and 4) the leadership of educational institution administrators affecting the operational effectiveness of the educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42. The sample consisted of 118 educational institution administrators under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 in the academic year 2020. The instruments used for data collection were the questionnaires with the reliability of 0.97. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC) and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. The results were found that; 1) the overall of leadership of educational institution administrators under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 were at a high level, 2) the overall of the operational of educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 were at a high level, 3) the leadership of educational institution administrators had a high level of positive relationship with the operational of educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 was statistically significant at the 0.01 (r = 0.86), 4) There are variables in transformational Leadership (X₂), creative leadership (X₁), 21^st Century Leadership (X₃) and innovative leadership (X₄) that jointly predict the operational effectiveness of the educational quality assurance system under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 42 with statistical significance at the 0.01. All 4 variables can explain the variation of the effectiveness of the educational quality assurance system by 93 percent (R² = 0.93). The prediction equations can be created as follows.

The prediction equation in the form of raw score can be formed as follows:

 = 0.76+0.35 (X₂) + 0.29 (X₁) + 0.10 (X₃) + 0.07 (X₄)

The prediction equation in the form of standard score can be formed as follows:

_y = 0.51Z_X2 + 0.43Z_X1 + 0.10Z_X3 + 0.08Z_X4
