The sample group consisted of 165 participants, including school administrators and teachers from primary schools in Network Group 1, selected using stratified and simple random sampling methods. The research instruments included 1) a questionnaire on the performance of internal quality assurance in schools, measured in four dimensions, and 2) a tool to assess the relationship between administrative factors and performance. The statistical methods used for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The research results were as follows: 1) the overall level of administrative factors was high, with the highest mean score found in the dimension of environmental and atmosphere management; 2) there was a high positive correlation between administrative factors and the performance of internal quality assurance in schools overall (r = .812) at a statistically significant level of .01; and 3) the administrative factor most strongly correlated with performance was the development of teachers and personnel (r = .762), followed by environmental and atmosphere management (r = .719). The findings confirmed a positive relationship between administrative factors and the performance of internal quality assurance in schools within Network Group 1 under the Pathum Thani Primary Educational Service Area Office 1.
