A Model for The Integrative Buddhist Management to Develop Moral Teaching Monks in Schools Division Northeast A Model for The Integrative Buddhist Management to Develop Moral Teaching Monks in Schools Division Northeast

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) study the components and indicators of integrative Buddhist management to develop the potential of moral teaching monks in schools in the Northeast, 2) examine the construct validity and construct reliability of these components and indicators, and 3) confirm the components and develop a model for integrative Buddhist management to enhance the potential of moral teaching monks in schools in the Northeast. The sample group consisted of 500 moral teaching monks from schools affiliated with Mahamakut Buddhist University in the Northeast. The research instrument was a 5-level Likert scale questionnaire. The statistical analyses included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).

          The findings revealed that: 1) The components and indicators of integrative Buddhist management to develop the potential of moral teaching monks in schools in the Northeast consisted of two main components: Integrative Buddhist Management, with 5 indicators. Potential of Moral Teaching Monks in Schools, with 4 indicators. The results of the construct validity and construct reliability examination for the two main components, nine sub-components, and 38 indicators of the integrative Buddhist management model were statistically significant at the 0.01 level. The model demonstrated construct validity, as evidenced by the fit indices: χ² = 45.825, df = 26, p-value = 0.231, CFI = 0.910, TLI = 0.975, SRMR = 0.007, RMSEA = 0.029, χ²/df = 1.762 The construct reliability was 0.992, which is greater than 0.60, indicating that the model is consistent and fits the empirical data.
