Abstract

This research article aimed to study the model of learning organization management based on Buddhist principles among school administrators under the Chonburi Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. The study employed research and development methodology, collecting data through questionnaires from 106 respondents, in-depth interviews with 7 participants, focus group discussions with 9 participants, workshops with 20 participants, and model evaluation with 19 participants. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, content analysis, and document analysis. The research findings revealed that: (1) Regarding the current and desirable states of learning organization management, the highest current state was systematic work, while the most desirable state was shared vision. The most urgent need was also the development of a shared vision. (2) The development of a learning organization management model based on Buddhist principles consisted of the application of wisdom, mindset formation, shared vision, teamwork, and systematic work, integrated with the Four Bases of Accomplishment (Iddhipāda). The model comprised six components: principles, objectives, content, implementation, evaluation guidelines, and success conditions. (3) The satisfaction with the model of learning organization management based on Buddhist principles was found to be at a high level overall, with all components rated highly. (4) The evaluation of the model showed that the overall mean score was high in terms of usefulness, feasibility, and appropriateness. Therefore, it is recommended to promote the development of a shared vision among school administrators, as well as to enhance staff wisdom and teamwork skills, in order to achieve sustainable improvement.
