Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) examine the level of participatory management of administrators in small schools; 2) investigate the level of teachers’ organizational commitment; and 3) analyze the relationship between participatory management and teachers’ organizational commitment in small schools under the Nong Bua Lamphu Primary Educational Service Area Office. The study employed a descriptive correlational research design. The sample consisted of 352 teachers, determined using Yamane’s formula and selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a five-point rating scale questionnaire with an overall reliability coefficient of 0.95. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient.

The findings revealed that: 1) the overall level of participatory management was at a high level; 2) teachers’ organizational commitment was also at a high level, with affective commitment ranking the highest; and 3) participatory management was positively correlated with teachers’ organizational commitment at a relatively high level, with statistical significance at the .05 level. Participation in decision-making and operational processes were identified as key factors contributing to teachers’ organizational commitment.
