The objectives of this research were 1) to examine the components and indicators of generational diversity management among personnel in educational institutions and 2) to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis of generational diversity management among personnel under the Chaiyaphum Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The total population consisted of 2,117 individuals, with a sample size of 500 participants, determined using a 10:1 ratio for 50 parameters. The sample was obtained through a multistage random sampling technique. A quantitative research methodology was employed to derive confirmatory components. The data collection instrument utilized was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using second-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
