Abstract

School administrators should adhere to appropriate management principles, fostering genuine trust and respect among subordinates, instilling dedication to duties, ensuring projects and activities are carried out systematically according to objectives, and achieving results as intended. Participatory management is one approach to effectively manage educational institutions, especially in adapting to changes and ensuring school success and efficiency in enhancing student quality through student support systems. Researchers are interested in studying the improvement of student quality through the relationship between participatory management and student support systems in the Wangsita Education Consortium schools under the jurisdiction of the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2. The objectives are to study participatory management, analyze the relationship between participatory management and student support systems, and propose strategies to improve student quality through the relationship between participatory management and student support systems in the Wangsita Education Consortium schools under the jurisdiction of the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2.

          This research is a mixed-methods study involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The sample consists of 108 individuals, including school administrators and student support system teachers from schools in the Wangsita Education Consortium under the jurisdiction of the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2. The sample size was determined using Krejce and Morgan's table (1970), followed by simple random sampling to determine the proportions for each school. Research tools included questionnaires and proportional estimation scale surveys with 5 levels. Data from the questionnaires were analyzed using computer-based social science software, employing statistical measures such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Interviews were conducted with five school administrators who had undergone external quality assurance in education and had at least 15 years of experience in educational management. The interviews focused on the components of participatory management and student support system operations. Content analysis was performed to identify strategies for enhancing student quality through the relationship between participatory management and student support systems in the Wangsita Education Consortium schools under the jurisdiction of the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2

The research findings are as follows:1) Participatory management in schools within the Wangsita Education Consortium under the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2, was generally observed to be at a high level (X= 3.59). Upon closer examination, the aspect with the highest average score was goal setting and objective establishment (X= 3.71), followed by commitment (X= 3.68), while autonomy in job performance (X = 3.47) had the lowest average score.2) The operation of student support systems in schools within the Wangsita Education Consortium under the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2, was found to be at a moderate level overall (X= 3.48). Upon detailed analysis, the aspect with the highest average score was understanding students as individuals (X= 3.71), followed by student promotion activities ( X= 3.48), while student referral services ( X= 3.28) had the lowest average score.3) The correlation between participatory management and student support systems in schools within the Wangsita Education Consortium under the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2, was found to be positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of (= 0.87), which aligns with the hypothesis. 4) Strategies to enhance student quality through the relationship between participatory management and student support systems in schools within the Wangsita Education Consortium under the Sa Buri District Education Office, District 2, Foster trust in teachers' knowledge and abilities, ensuring confidence in teachers implementing student support system operations. Support and provide opportunities for faculty members to participate in decision-making and planning processes for student support.
