Abstract
This study aimed to: (1) assess the level of governance principles applied by private school administrators based on teachers' perceptions in Mueang District, Nakhon Ratchasima; (2) evaluate the administrative performance of private school leaders as perceived by teachers; and (3) analyze the impact of governance principles on administrative performance. The study population comprised 1,060 teachers from 43 private schools, with a sample of 285 teachers selected through systematic random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.89. Statistical methods included means, standard deviations, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that: (1) governance principles were rated at a high level, with rule of law scoring the highest and efficiency the lowest; (2) administrative performance was also rated highly, with academic management receiving the highest score and budget management the lowest; (3) governance principles significantly influenced the administrative performance of school leaders. Seven key factors—efficiency, effectiveness, accountability, transparency, participation, decentralization, and consensus—were identified as significant predictors, collectively explaining 98.90% of the variance in school administration (p < 0.05). In conclusion, integrating governance principles into school administration is recommended to enhance leadership effectiveness and support sustainable educational development.
