Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) to study the level of innovative leadership of school administrators in secondary schools in Loei Province, and 2) to compare the level of innovative leadership of school administrators classified by personal factors. The sample consisted of 306 school administrators and teachers in secondary schools in Loei Province, obtained by stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a 5-point rating scale questionnaire with a reliability of 0.96. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance.
The results revealed that: 1) The overall level of innovative leadership of school administrators was high (= 4.22, S.D. = 0.71). The highest mean aspect was inspiration and motivation, while the lowest mean aspect was networking and collaboration. 2) Comparison of innovative leadership levels classified by personal factors showed that respondents with different educational levels and current positions had significantly different opinions on the level of innovative leadership at the .05 level. No significant differences were found for gender, age, and work experience.
The findings of this research can be used as guidelines for developing innovative leadership of school administrators in Loei Province, especially in promoting networking and collaboration, and developing administrators with different educational backgrounds.
