Abstract:
This research aimed to 1) examine the conditions of leadership systems in quality schools under the Chiang Rai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, and 2) study the needs assessment of organizational leadership systems in these quality schools. The sample group consisted of 186 administrators and teachers from educational institutions under the Chiang Rai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 during the 2024 academic year. The research instrument was a five-point rating scale questionnaire. Statistical analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Priority Needs Index (PNIModified). The research findings revealed that: 1) The current state of leadership systems in quality schools under the Chiang Rai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 was at a high level overall. 2) The desired state of leadership systems in these quality schools was also at a high level overall. 3) The analysis of the Priority Needs Index (PNI) for leadership systems in quality schools under the Chiang Rai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, conducted across four key dimensions, revealed the following results. The dimension with the highest modified Priority Needs Index (PNIModified) was strategic leadership capability (PNIModified= 0.160), This was followed by the dimension of results-oriented focus on societal impact (PNIModified = 0.149), and the dimension of creating opportunities for personnel participation (PNIModified = 0.139). The dimension with the lowest priority needs index was monitoring, supervision, and evaluation of potential future impacts (PNIModified = 0.126).
