The Model of Administration for Excellence of Buddhist administration towards excellence of the Sangha Colleges under Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the components and indicators of Buddhist administration towards excellence; 2) to examine the congruence of the Buddhist administration equation model towards excellence; 3) to develop a model of Buddhist administration towards excellence; 4) to assess a model of Buddhist administration towards excellence of Sangha Collages under Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. This study was carried out by means of mixed research method. The study was divided into 4 phases as follows:
The research results were as follows:
1. The components and indicators of Buddhist administration towards excellence of Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University: the results of the study revealed that there were 7 main components: (1) organizational leadership, (2) strategies, (3) service recipients, (4) measurement, analysis and knowledge management, (5) personnel, (6) operations, and (7) outcomes, and also there were 21 sub-components with 110 indicators.
2. The results of the examination of the congruence of the Buddhist administration equation model towards excellence consistent with empirical data and meet the specified criteria were as follows: statistical value qui-square (χ2) = 1781.370, degree of freedom (Df) = 323, statistical significance (P-Value) = 0.0000. This indicated that qui-square does not have statistical significance. Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.000, Standard Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) = 0.088, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.927, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.902.
3. The result of the development of a Buddhist administration model towards excellence revealed that the model consisted of (1) conceptual principles; (2) model objectives, (3) content/methods; (4) expected outcomes and (5) conditions for success.
4. The results of the evaluation of the Buddhist administration model for excellence showed the model’s suitability, feasibility and usefulness at a high level.
