Abstract

The purpose of this research were to: 1) analyze the causal relationship between Building Leadership (BULE), Result-Oriented Leadership (RELE), Risk Management Leadership (RILE), Team Learning Leadership (LELE) and Creative Leadership (CRLE) and 2) test the consistency of the Building Leadership (BULE), Result-Oriented Leadership (RELE), Risk Management Leadership (RILE), Team Learning Leadership (LELE) and Creative Leadership (CRLE) models with empirical data and sample acquisition. The population for this research consisted of teachers in private schools in Phatthalung Province in the 2025 academic year. The sample size was determined based on the criteria of Hair et al. (2010). The sample was obtained using a purposive sampling method. A total of 36 private schools, 12 students per school, totaling 432 students. offering education from pre-primary to high school, with sufficient teachers to collect questionnaire data, were selected. This ensured that the data were comprehensive and appropriately reflected the population characteristics.


 The results of the initial model's structural equation model fit test revealed that the model did not align with the empirical data. Considering the equation = 980.870, df = 124, p-value = < .001, equation / df = 7.910, GFI = 0.732, NFI = 0.924, NNFI = 0.919, CFI = 0.842, RMR = 0.058, SRMR = 0.067, and RMSEA     = 0.134, the above statistics show that the p-value < .05 rejects the hypothesis, and all indices did not pass the criteria for consideration. Therefore, it could be concluded that the structural equation model of creative leadership development (CRLE) did not align with the empirical data.


The researchers adjusted the model according to the recommendations of the (MI) program to better align with the empirical data. The results of the adjusted model examination revealed a good fit with the empirical data. The results of the fit test between the structural equation models and the development of creative leadership (CRLE) with empirical data found that the structural equation model of creative leadership (CRLE) was consistent with the empirical data, considering the value of equation = 2769, df = 1454, p value = 0.061, equation / df = 1.904, GFI index = 0.947, NFI = 0.973, NNFI = 0.978, CFI = 0.969, RMR = 0.049, SRMR = 0.029, RMSEA = 0.003, and = 0.719. From the above statistics, it could be seen that the p value was high enough to accept the hypothesis (p > .05). The various indices passed the criteria for consideration. Therefore, it could be concluded that the structural equation model of creative leadership (CRLE) was consistent with the empirical data. All variables could explain the variance of Creative Leadership Development (CRLE) with achieved 71.90 percent.
