Keywords:

The objectives of this research were: 1) To study the general information of respondents using a questionnaire 2) To investigate the level of satisfaction with work and the intention to resign among municipal employees 3) To examine the demographic factors and job satisfaction factors affecting the intention to resign among municipal employees. The population consisted of 58 employees within the Khao Phra Subdistrict Municipality, Deombang Nangbuat District, Suphan Buri Province. The researchers utilized a questionnaire as a data collection tool and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics including simple regression analysis. The research findings revealed that respondents generally had a high level of satisfaction with their work, while overall, the intention to resign was low. The hypothesis testing results indicated that demographic factors such as gender, age, and income level did not significantly influence the intention to resign among employees. Additionally, job satisfaction factors affecting the intention to resign among municipal employees could explain the variance of the variable by 22%, as evidenced by the Adjusted R Square value of 0.22.
