The sample group Educational institution administrators and teachers, totalling 560 people. The data collection in this study consisted of a questionnaire and an interview. The statistical techniques employed for data analysis encompassed frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and content analysis.


The results indicated that 1) the technological leadership of school administrators institution administrators Overall, are at a high level. There were observed at 0.01. Furthermore, Including educational institution administrators should focus on personnel development. To have digital technology skills to become professional.

The average score for the efficiency of school administrators was 4.85, indicating a high level of efficiency. Lastly, 3) A Casual Model of Technology Leadership Affecting the Efficiency Administration was found to consistent with the empirical data (Chi-Square=143.58, df=138, P-Value=0.35, x2/df=1.04, CFI=0.91, TLI=0.92, RMSEA=0.04,). These results indicated the model explains a significant amount of the variance in the administrative efficiency of school administrators, with an average explained variance of 90%.
