Research findings were as follows. 1. The overall rating of the state of personnel administration based on Sappurisadhammas 7 in Phrapariyattidhamma Schools (General Education), Sisaket Province was at a high level. This indicated that the schools appropriately applied Buddhist principles including: knowing causes; knowing consequences; self-awareness; moderation; timing; community awareness; and understanding individuals; in personnel management particularly the aspects of understanding roles and responsibilities, rational planning, and personnel development through the difference of individuals. 2. The development of personnel administration based on Sappurisadhammas 7 should emphasize: continuous personnel development; appropriate workload allocation; enhancement of relationships and cooperation within the organization; and fair and transparent evaluation in accordance with moral principles. These practices would help create a positive working atmosphere, reduce conflicts, and enhance personnel performance. 3. The guidelines for personnel administration based on Sappurisadhammas 7 should promote the integration of Buddhist principles with modern management sciences in developing administrators and personnel to: possess both competence and morality; and manage in accordance with community contexts and individual differences. This would enhance effective and sustainable personnel administration in the long run.
