THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDICATORS OF ETHICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS UNDER THE PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION IN THE NORTHEASTERN REGION

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the components and indicators of the ethical characteristics of school administrators, 2) To examine the congruence of the model comprising the components and indicators of the ethical characteristics of school administrators. This research is a quantitative methodology study divided into two sections as follows Section 1 involves studying the components and indicators of the ethical characteristics of school administrators through the synthesis of documents, textbooks, principles, concepts, theories, and related research. Section 2 focuses on examining the congruence of the model comprising the components and indicators of the ethical characteristics of school administrators. the sample size consisted of 354 participants, selected through stratified random sampling. the research instrument utilized was a questionnaire based on a five-point rating scale. quantitative analysis was conducted using statistical software to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and statistical values. These analyses were performed to assess the appropriateness of the data for factor analysis, utilizing Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy. additionally, statistical software was utilized to perform factor analysis and to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model with empirical data.

The results of this research showed that: 1. The study of components and indicators identified five main components, 15 sub-components, and 40 indicators of the ethical characteristics of school administrators these are as follows Integrity consists of 3 sub-components with 5 indicators fairness comprises 3 sub- components with 4 indicators responsibility Includes 3 sub-components with 21 indicators  kindness  Encompasses 3 sub-components with 6 indicators patience  contains 3 sub-components with 7 indicators. 2. The evaluation of the congruence of the confirmatory factor analysis model for the indicators showed the following results: The Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) was 0.997 the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) was 1.000, the Root Mean Square Residual (RMR) was 0.002, and the Normed Fit Index (NFI) was 0.999. Additionally, the reliability of the latent variables (P_c) was 0.823, and the Average Variance Extracted (P_v) was 0.482 These statistical values indicate that the theoretical model aligns well with the empirical data.
