The purpose of this research was to 1) to study the levels of ecological environmental factors; 2) to study the levels of school administration effectiveness; and 3) to investigate the relationship between influential ecological factors and the effectiveness of school administration in District 1. The research sample consisted of 132 teachers and educational personnel. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis.        

            The results of the study revealed that: 1) Ecological Factors: Overall, the causal ecological factors were at a very high level. When considering individual aspects, the highest-ranking factor was the administrators' digital competency, followed by ethics, and the policy of the Ministry of Education, respectively. 2)School Administration Effectiveness: Overall, the effectiveness was at a very high level. Ranking the aspects from highest to lowest showed that budget management was first, followed by academic affairs, personnel management, and general administration, respectively. 3) Relationship and Influence: The relationship between influential ecological factors and school administration effectiveness, analyzed through multiple regression, revealed that administrators' digital competency, ethics, and Ministry of Education policies yielded a multiple correlation coefficient (R) of 0.784. These factors together accounted for 61.50% of the variance in school administration effectiveness with statistical significance at the 0.01 level. The hypothesis testing confirmed that influential ecological factors significantly impacted school administration effectiveness at the 0.01 level.
