Abstract

This research aimed to study the current conditions, desired conditions, and development needs for enhancing servant leadership of private school administrators under the Office of the Private Education Commission. The study employed quantitative research methodology. The research sample comprises 259 private school administrators from the Office of the Private Education Commission in the academic year 2024, selected through a multi-stage sampling process. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s table. The research tool was a questionnaire examining current and desired conditions using a 5-level rating scale. The statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and the Priority Needs Index (PNI_modified). The research findings revealed that:

1) The current condition was at a moderate level, while the desired condition of school administrators’ leadership overall was at the highest level. 2) The overall (PNI_modified) value was 1.54, indicating a moderate level of necessary needs requiring development. In order of priority, people development had the highest development need (PNI_modified = 2.05), followed by active listening (PNI_modified = 1.92), caring for others (PNI_modified = 1.11), and having vision (PNI_modified = 1.07), respectively. Therefore, enhancing servant leadership among private school administrators under the Office of the Private Education Commission should incorporate the development of these characteristics in training curricula.
