Leadership in the service of school administrators according to the opinions of teachers. Affiliated to the Nonthaburi Primary Education Area Office, District 2

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the servant leadership of school administrators as perceived by teachers in schools under the Office of Nonthaburi Primary Educational Service Area 2 and to compare teachers’ perceptions of servant leadership based on teaching experience and school size. The sample consisted of 302 teachers working in schools under the Office of Nonthaburi Primary Educational Service Area 2, selected through proportionate simple random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire designed on a five-point Likert scale, with a content validity index ranging from 0.60 to 1.00 and a reliability coefficient of 0.98. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Scheffé’s post-hoc test.

The findings revealed that: 1) overall and across dimensions, the servant leadership of school administrators as perceived by teachers was at a high level; 2) teachers with different teaching experiences did not significantly differ in their perceptions of administrators’ servant leadership; and 3) teachers working in schools of different sizes had significantly different perceptions of administrators’ servant leadership at the 0.05 level.
