Abstract

This research aimed to study "The impact of human resource development innovation on the managerial skills of junior executives in the Borthong 33 industrial estate." The objectives were: 1) to investigate the level of human resource development innovation affecting managerial skills, and 2) to examine the factors of innovation that influence managerial skills. The study population consisted of 243 junior executives in the Borthong 33 industrial estate. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which was verified for quality. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics, using stepwise multiple regression analysis with a significance level of 0.05. The findings indicated that human resource development innovations in education, on-the-job development, and training all positively impact managerial skills. Training had the greatest effect, followed by on-the-job development and education. The results show that training, focusing on management-related skills and knowledge, significantly enhances junior executives' managerial capabilities. The regression analysis confirmed that all three factors had a statistically significant positive effect, with training having the highest coefficient, followed by on-the-job development and education, highlighting the importance of training in managerial skills development within the industrial estate context.
