Abstract

               The objectives of the research, titled “Sappurisa-dhamma-based Leadership of  Mahamakut Buddhist University Srilanchang Campus Students,” were (1) to study the leadership of Mahamakut Buddhist University Srilanchang Campus (MBUSLC) students,  based on the Buddhist principle of seven-item Sappurisa-dhamma, and (2) to compare Sappurisa-dhamma-based leadership of MBUSLC students, classified by class and major. The population of the research was a total of 318 MBUSLC students, studying in the second semester of the academic year 2021. The 175 samples were selected through Krejcie and Morgan’s sample size determination table, together with the stratified sampling and simple random sampling approaches. The tool used for data collection was the rating scale  questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis comprised of frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA for the hypothetical test.

               The findings of the research were as follows:

1. The leadership based on Sappurisa-dhamma of MBUSLC students was found to be overall at a high level. Separately considered, all aspects were found to be at a high level; they were ordered in the descending order: Attaññutā, Dhammaññutā, Puggalaññutā, Parisaññutā, Kālaññutā,Atthaññutā. and Mattaññutā, respectively.
2. The comparison of Sappurisa-dhamma-based leadership of MBUSLC students, classified by class and major, was not found different.
