Personnel Development of the Sing Buri Provincial Administrative Organization, Mueang Sing Buri District, Sing Buri Province

Abstract

Sing Buri Provincial Administrative Organization, Mueang Sing Buri District, Sing Buri Province, faces a lower-than-target staff development participation rate, affecting service efficiency and organizational progress. This study aimed to 1) examine internal and external factors, 2) assess staff development levels, and 3) identify factors influencing staff development. A quantitative survey was conducted with 148 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that 1) overall internal and external factors were at a high level, including internal factors such as policy, organizational culture, personnel management processes, and organizational structure, and external factors such as technology, economy, competition, and society; 2) overall staff development was at a high level, including training, self-development, and education; and 3) factors affecting staff development were identified. Among internal factors, personnel management processes had the strongest influence, followed by policy and organizational culture (p < .05, R² = 0.550), while organizational structure was not significant. Among external factors, economic factors had the strongest influence, followed by social, technological, and competitive factors (p < .05, R² = 0.524). The organization should focus on enhancing personnel management systems and strengthening readiness for external economic factors to sustainably promote staff development.
