บทคัดย่อ

The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the innovative leadership of administrators as perceived by faculty members at Hainan Dongfang New Silk Road College, and 2) to compare these perceptions across gender, age, educational level, and work experience. The sample consisted of 57 faculty members selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, validated by three experts (IOC = 0.67-1.00) and demonstrating a reliability coefficient of 0.83. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and one-way ANOVA with LSD.

The findings revealed that faculty members rated the overall innovative leadership of administrators at a high level. Among the four dimensions, innovative vision received the highest mean score, followed by innovative teamwork participation, digital skills, and continuous learning adaptability, respectively. Comparative analyses showed no significant differences in perceptions when classified by gender, age, or educational level. However, work experience revealed a significant difference in the dimension of digital skills at the 0.05 level, with faculty members having 1-5 years or experience rating administrators significantly higher than those with 6-10 years of experience.
