N2  - School administrators play an important role in determining the direction and 
effectiveness of the school. Therefore, they are required to equip themselves with all the 
necessary  skills  for  effective  school  management.  School  administrators  are  viewed  as 
architects  (actors)  that  could  propel  the  progress  of  the  school  based  on  management 
skills and knowledge of school organisation management in line with current educational 
developments. As such, competency aspects of the administrators in schools throughout 
the  country  should  be  emphasised,  even  more  so  for  the  Government-Aided  Religious 
Schools  (GARS) as newcomers under the  Ministry of Education  (MOE).  A research on 
the  competency  of  GARS  Administrators  will  uncover  training  requirements  for  the 
administrators  and  improve  the  existing  strengths  in  the  schools.  In  addition,  this 
research was designed to analyse whether the School Leaders? Competency Instrument 
(KOMPAS)  survey,  designed  by  researchers  from  Institut  Aminuddin  Baki  (IAB),  has 
internal  consistency  and  reliability.  Therefore,  confirmation  factor  analysis  through 
Structural  Equation  Modelling  construction  methods  was  used  to  analyse  the  internal 
consistency  of  the  questionnaire.  A  total  of  348  GARS  Administrators  in  the  eastern 
and central zones were made respondents in the research. The research findings indicate 
that KOMPAS instrument has good internal consistency in measuring the competency of 
the GARS Administrators. In addition, the job satisfaction elements of the administrators 
were also studied by the researchers as an ancillary element of the research.
