Abstract

The purposes of this research article were 1) to study the state of Buddhist self-defense mechanism of school administrators under office of Secondary Educational Service Area, 2) to develop a model of Buddhist self-defense mechanism of school administrators under Office of Secondary Educational Service Area, and 3) to propose a model of Buddhist self-defense mechanism of school administrators under Office of Secondary Educational Service Area.  A multiphase mixed methods design was used for research design and was divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 and 2 were designed by using qualitative research and the key informants were 12 school administrators and educators, and the target group of 9 experts in focus group discussion. They were selected by purposive sampling. Phase 3 quantitative research was designed and 435 samples was selected by two-stage random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the research hypothesis was validated the causal model by LISREL program. Results showed that 1) the state of Buddhist self-defense mechanism of school administrators under office of Secondary Educational Service Area found that school administrators perform the ability of school management, being a leadership, being a good role of model both in self-practice and working, being an appropriate position.

Results of model assessment showed that it was possibility, correctly, and appropriately model. 3) A causal relationship model of Buddhist self-defense mechanism of school administrators under Office of Secondary Educational Service Area was fit with empirical data. Analysis results were Chi-square = 21.25, df = 14, p = .095, GFI = .992, AGFI = .995, RMR = .011, accounting for the variations in urgent wisdom management was 84.80 percent and in Buddhist self-defense mechanism was 87.20 percent.
