Abstract

          The purpose of this research is to examine the performance of the village committee of Si Chompu district, Khon Kaen province. The samples in this study are the 393 representatives of the households by using the formula of Taro Yamane (Yamane.1973: 125). The tool for data collection is the questionnaire concerning the operation of the committee in the area which primarily consists of three parts. Statistics methodologies used for the data analysis are descriptive statistics (number, percentage, median, and standard deviation of the samples’ datum) and inferential statistics which include T-test and F-test that are applied to compare the level of each member’s performance categorized by individual factor. The study broadly shows that the overall operative performance of the village committee is at an excellent level ( = 3.77, S.D. = 6.667). The highest mean goes to the “other” section ( =3.90, S.D. = 2.560) and the directive section ( =3.80, S.D. = 0.633), respectively.
          The comparative result of the degree of operation of the village committee categorized by individual factor finds out that ages are significantly and statistically different in 0.05 degree whereas there is no difference in gender and educational background. The suggestion for the operator of the village committee in Si Chompu district, Khon Kaen province is that the organizations and officials involved can utilize the result of this research to improve and strengthen the particular section.
