This academic article aims to explain the application of the Four Sangahavatthu Principles for example Dana (generosity), Piyavaca (kind speech), Atthacariya (beneficial conduct), and Samanattata (impartiality). In educational administration, emphasizing collaboration, trust, and unity within the organization. The findings and related studies reveal that applying these principles enhances teachers’ and staff satisfaction, improves communication, reduces conflicts, and promotes participatory decision -making. Consequently, school management becomes more flexible, transparent, and sustainable.

Furthermore, activities such as professional development, participatory meetings, and community networking are key mechanisms supporting quality improvement and sustainable educational development in the 21st century. The study concludes that the Sangahavatthu 4 can be regarded as a “Moral-Based Administrative Innovation” integrating religious ethics with modern management concepts to strengthen cooperation, transparency, and organizational well-being across five key components: educational administration, learning management, personnel management, organizational culture development, and student and community services.
