| Abstract |
The ethical competence of primary school administrators enables them to conscientiously deal with the day-to-day challenges occurring from their professional roles in academic and professional contexts. Thus, this survey was constructed to examine the significant factors that impact primary school administrators in the northeast region of Thailand using a multi-level structural equation modelling. The researchers employed a multi-stage sampling method to select a total of 640 primary school teachers and administrators from every cluster in the northeast region to be respondents. A quantitative survey design using a five-point rating scale questionnaire was utilized as an instrument. The researchers started to explore the data using assumption tests before testing whether the identified factors could fit with empirical data. At the final stage, the effects of causal relationships on primary school administrators’ ethical competence were examined. The initial finding showed that a total of three factors were found to be significant factors in the ethical competence structural model within and between levels respectively. Moreover, the structural model of ethical competence of primary school administrators was congruent with the experimental data, with χ2 = 314.088, df = 281, χ2/df = 1.117, CFI = 0.994, TLI = 0.990, RMSEA = 0.014, SRMR within level = 0.074, and SRMR between level = 0.053. On top of that, the strongest significant factor affecting the ethical competence of primary school administrators between levels was the organisational structure (β = 0.727), and within levels was ethical intelligence (β = 0.659). Consequently, the researchers presumed that the structural ethical competence model for elementary school leaders has a goodness of fit with the obtained data. Lastly, the outcomes of this study imply that the structural model is indicated to by elementary school administrators to enhance their ethical competency levels as our main impact to the field of educational management. |
