Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate, analyze, and verify the consistency of leadership components in the VUCA world for primary school administrators under the Primary Educational Service Area Office in Thailand’s 13^th inspection area, based on empirical data. The study involved 8 experts and a sample of 400 school administrators selected by stratified random sampling based on the number of schools in each educational service area. Research tools included an interview form and a 5-level estimation scale questionnaire with a reliability of 0.989. Data were analyzed using content analysis and confirmatory component analysis methods. The results revealed that leadership in the VUCA world for these school administrators comprised 4 main components, 10 sub-elements, and 94 indicators. These elements were consistent with empirical data, with standard component weight coefficients for all key components statistically significant at the 0.01 level. The main components with the highest standard weights were change creation (b_sc = 0.97), collaboration (b_sc = 0.96), resilience and adaptation (b_sc = 0.93), and vision (b_sc = 0.92). The accuracy coefficient of all key elements, measured by R², indicated a high level of covariance in the leadership component model for school administrators in the 13th inspection area (R² between 0.84 and 0.95).
