คำสำคัญ:
Competency of School Administrator, Teachers’ Work Motivation, School Managementบทคัดย่อ
Teacher motivation is a key determinant of educational quality and effectiveness, and school administrators shape this motivation through their professional competencies. This study aimed to (1) examine administrator competencies in Nakhon Ratchasima Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, (2) assess teachers’ work motivation, and (3) develop a predictive equation of administrator competencies influencing motivation. The sample included 327 administrators and teachers selected through stratified random sampling based on the Krejcie and Morgan table. A five-point Likert questionnaire with an IOC of 0.86 was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results showed that teachers’ motivation and administrators’ competencies were both at a high level. Four key competencies, namely achievement orientation, teamwork, management competency, and personnel development, were found to significantly influence teachers’ motivation and together explained 62.40 percent of the variance, with a multiple correlation coefficient of 0.793. These findings suggest that achievement orientation and teamwork are essential factors in maintaining teacher motivation. Furthermore, the results provide a practical framework for leadership development and professional training, emphasizing the importance of competency-based administrator development to enhance teacher engagement and improve educational outcomes.
