The Influence of School Administrators’ Agile Leadership on Work Enthusiasm of Government Teachers Under the Samut Prakan Secondary Educational Service Area Office

Abstract

This research examined school administrators’ agile leadership, government teachers’ work enthusiasm, their relationship, and the predictive influence of agile leadership on work enthusiasm within the Samut Prakan Secondary Educational Service Area Office.
The sample comprised 333 government teachers actively teaching in the 2025 academic year, selected through multi-stage random sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The level of school administrators’ agile leadership was high, whereas government teachers’ work enthusiasm was very high. A strong positive correlation was observed between agile leadership and work enthusiasm (r = 0.882, p < .01). Furthermore, the agile leadership dimensions—specifically adaptability, visionary, engagement, and humility —significantly accounted for 67.60% of the variance in government teachers’ work enthusiasm. In conclusion, administrators who exhibit high adaptability and provide clear visionary guidance are crucial for fostering a highly motivated and enthusiastic teaching staff.
Future studies should explore agile leadership across diverse educational contexts for comparative analysis and employ qualitative designs to develop practical and strategic models for cultivating agile leadership among school administrators.
