Keywords:
Academic Leadership, Administrators, Factors, IndicatorsAbstract
The present exploratory sequential mixed methods study from the Faculty of Nursing (FoN), Praboromarajchanok Institute (PBRI) aimed to develop academic leadership (AL) for nursing academic (NA) administrators. The research consisted of two phases. In the first phase, qualitative research was conducted to identify factors and indicators of the proposed AL model throughout document analysis and online-interviews. Participants were 13 nursing academic administrators were recruited for online interviews, as well as 11 nursing students and their parents. A focus group discussion was conducted so to gather the opinions and observations from participants. Then a group of 9 experts developed a new AL model. A total of 97 indicators were hypothesized to form 5 factors and 16 sub-factors. The content validity (IOC) of the proposed AL model ranged from 0.6-1.0. In the second phase, quantitative research was conducted to test the new AL model and for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with 271 faculty participants.
The second-order measurement of the final proposed AL model showed that the model fit indices were χ2/df = 0.68237, GFI = 0.97, AGFI = 0.94, SRMR = 0.0063, RMSEA = 0.000. The model revealed that VE2 (L = 0.60), FP2 (L = 0.55), FP3 (L = 0.55), CL1 (L = 0.57), RI4 (L = 0.65), SQ1 (L = 0.60), and SQ2 (L = 0.60) had the highest path loadings.
Per the findings, this model should be taken into account in preparing and training novice and current NA administrators of FON, PBRI.
