This research aimed to 1) study the performance level of private school administrators working under the Office of Private Education Commission in Pathum Thani Province in accordance to the professional code of ethics, and 2) compare their performances in terms of their duties and responsibilities, types of academic institutions, educational backgrounds, and experiences gained from the professional code of ethics training.
The participants of this study were 60 principals and 479 teachers working in general and vocational private schools under the supervision of the Office of Private Education Commission in Pathum Thani Province. The research instrument used for collecting data was Likert five-point scale questionnaires. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffes test, and Dunetts test.
The findings revealed that the school administrators performed, as a whole and on all aspects, within the professional code of ethics at the high level. In addition, their duties and responsibilities, educational backgrounds, and experiences received from the training on the professional code of ethics also affected their their performances, as a whole and on all aspects, at a significance level of .05. The variation in types of academic institutions, on the other hand, had no statistically significant effect.
