The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between teachers’
perceptions towards their leadership capacity and school climate in five selected schools under
the leadership of the Lovers of the Cross of Ubon Ratchathani Congregation. The researcher
used the high leadership capacity instrument adopted from Kujur (2016), and based on
Lambert’s (2003) Leadership Capacity School Survey (LCSS), as well as the Schools’
Organizational Climate Survey (SOCS) adopted from Josaphat (2005). The results of this study
showed that there was both a strong and significant relationship between the teachers’
perceptions towards their leadership capacity and their school climate in the respective schools.
This study discussed those respective findings and found that school improvement and student
achievement could be better facilitated by increasing teacher leadership capacity and
improving the educational effectiveness through the implementation of a more conducive
atmosphere for teaching and learning. The teachers and administrators were recommended to
identify methods to develop and offer greater opportunities for teachers to facilitate shared
ideas, enhance workplace engagement opportunities, develop methods of coherent discussion,
as well as to assist and support each other to achieve the school goals. This research suggested
that the achievement of these recommendations could be done by developing the
communication within the learning community, engaging and inspiring students, collaborating
more between shareholders to strengthen leadership capacities and to ultimately improve the
school climate within the school. To facilitate this, it was proposed that teachers should revamp
their teaching-learning processes through professional development and training, in order to
raise teachers’ commitment and devotion to each individual learner.
