Abstract

The purpose of the research were 1) to examine the level of learning leadership of administrators and the level of learning organization of schools, 2) to test the relationship between the two variables, and 3) to identify the components of learning leadership that influence the prediction of the learning organization of schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office of Maha Sarakham, using a descriptive research design.
The population consisted of 1,811 people, and a sample size of 330 people was obtained through stratified random sampling, categorized into 66 administrators and 264 teachers.
The research instruments were questionnaires with reliability values of 0.987 for learning leadership and 0.984 for learning organization. The statistics used included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that 1) the school administrators exhibited a high level of learning leadership overall (= 3.502, S.D. = 0.531), 2) the status of the learning organization of the schools was at a high level (= 3.905, S.D. = 0.749), 3) the two variables are positively correlated at a very high level (r_xy = 0.918) with statistical significance at the .01 level, and 4) seven components of learning leadership, namely, team learning, self-directed learning, creativity, flexibility, using technology in work, integration, and creating a learning-conducive environment, are statistically significant factors influencing the status of the learning organization at the .01 level, with a very high multiple correlation coefficient (R = 0.920) and a predictive power of 84.30% (Adjusted R² = .843).
