Abstract

This study objectives to (1) examine the priority needs for school administration toward becoming high-performance organizations and to analyze the internal environment of schools under the Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. (2) analyze the external environment influencing school management toward becoming a high-performance organization under the same jurisdiction and (3) develop and validate strategies for school management toward becoming a high-performance organization under the Primary Educational Service Area Office Phitsanulok Area 3. The research methodology consisted of three phases. First, a needs assessment was conducted to examine school administration toward becoming high-performance organizations under the Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 3, involving 310 participants. The collected data were analyzed using the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNI_modified) to identify strengths and weaknesses. Subsequently,
in-depth interviews were conducted with five experts, and the data were analyzed using content analysis to identify opportunities and threats. Based on these findings, a draft set of strategies and implementation guidelines was developed through SWOT analysis. Finally, the appropriateness of the proposed strategies and implementation guidelines was assessed through a focus group discussion with five experts.

The findings indicated that (1) the overall modified Priority Needs Index (PNI_modified) for school management toward becoming a high-performance organization was 0.189. By dimension, organizational leadership exhibited the highest priority need, representing a key weakness (seven indicators), whereas customer and stakeholder focus exhibited the lowest priority need, representing a strength (four indicators). (2) The external environmental analysis identified 15 opportunities and 17 threats affecting school management toward becoming a high-performance organization under the Primary Educational Service Area Office Phitsanulok Area 3. (3) The proposed strategies comprised 6 strategies with 22 implementation guidelines. These strategies are expected to strengthen school administration and support the concrete and sustainable development of schools toward becoming high-performance organizations.
