Personnel Administration of School Administrators in the Thirdthai Network Under Roi Et Primary Educational Service Area Office 1

Abstract

This research article aims to (1) examine the current state, desired state, and necessary requirements for personnel management by school administrators, and (2) explore recommendations for personnel management by administrators in the Thirdthai Network. The sample consisted of 71 participants, including school administrators and teachers. The research instruments included a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, demonstrating content validity ranging from 0.67 to 1.00, with reliability coefficients of 0.94 for the current state and 0.98 for the desired state, as well as an interview guide. Statistical analyses involved frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, assessment of necessary requirements using the Modified PNI, and descriptive analysis. The findings revealed that (1) the overall current state of personnel management by school administrators was at a moderate level, while the desired state was at a high level. The priority needs were ranked as follows: recruitment and appointment (PNI=0.36), development of teachers and educational personnel (PNI=0.27), workforce planning and position allocation (PNI=0.25), enhancing operational efficiency (PNI=0.23), and maintaining discipline and retirement (PNI=0.23); and (2) recommendations for personnel management included aligning workforce planning with workload, recruiting and appointing personnel based on clear qualifications, systematically developing personnel with administrators as role models, maintaining discipline and transparent evaluation, recognizing teachers' achievements, providing opportunities for field visits, and creating innovative teaching methods to maximize efficiency in educational institutions.
