Abstract

​ The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the organizational climate, organizational culture, and the promotion of educational quality management of world-class research universities; 2) to analyze the influence of organizational climate and organizational culture on the promotion of educational quality management; and 3) to propose guidelines for organizing organizational climate and organizational culture to enhance the quality of educational management. This research was quantitative research. The sample consisted of academic staff of such world-class research universities in the academic year 2024, totaling 378 persons. The research instrument was a questionnaire with item discrimination values ranging from 0.21–0.62 and a reliability coefficient of 0.87. The statistics used included mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.

The research findings revealed that: 1) the organizational climate was at the highest level, the organizational culture was at a very high level, and the promotion of educational quality management was at the highest level; 2) the organizational climate and organizational culture had an influence on the promotion of educational quality management with statistical significance at the .01 level, with a multiple correlation coefficient at a moderate level; and 3) the predictive model had a multiple correlation coefficient (R) of 0.582 and an R² of 0.339, explaining 33.90 percent of the variance with statistical significance at the .05 level. Organizational climate and most components of organizational culture could predict the promotion of educational quality management, except for the dimension of unity culture which showed no predictive influence. The findings indicated that world-class research universities should emphasize creating an organizational climate conducive to collaboration and developing an organizational culture that supports learning and innovation, which are essential factors for sustainably enhancing the quality of educational management.
