บทคัดย่อ

The objectives of this research were to: 1) examine the situational leadership of administrators as perceived by faculty members, and 2) compare faculty members’ perceptions of administrators’ situational leadership at the Property Management Office of Haikou University of Economics by gender, work experience, and department. The sample consisted of 108 faculty members selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire with item validity (IOC) values ranging from 0.67 to 1.00 and a reliability coefficient of 0.94. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and LSD post-hoc test.

The findings revealed that administrators’ situational leadership, both overall and in each dimension, was perceived at a high level. The leadership styles were ranked from highest to lowest mean as follows: Supporting, Coaching, Delegating, and Directing. The results also indicated no significant differences in perceptions by gender, work experience, or department. However, in the dimension of Coaching, faculty members with more than 10 years and 6-10 years of experience reported significantly higher perceptions than those with 1-5 years of experience at the .05 and .01 levels. These findings suggest that faculty experience influences perceptions of coaching leadership within the office.
