This research aimed to 1) study the causal factors of academic personnel competencies influencing
performance of Rajabhat Universities in the Central Region, and 2) examine the consistency of the structural
equation model of the causal factors of academic personnel competencies influencing performance of Rajabhat Universities in the Central Region. The population of the research was academic personnel of Rajabhat Universities in the Central Region. Data were collected from a sample of 400 people using the statistical probability selection method with stratified random sampling. The instrument used for data
collection was a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed by calculating percentages, means, and standard
deviations, and using the structural equation modeling technique. The results of the study found that
1) the level of opinions on motivating factors of academic personnel in general was at a high level (x̄ =4.50, S.D. = 0.44), 2) the level of opinions on supporting factors of academic personnel in general was at a high level (x̄ =4.33, S.D. = 0.62), 3) the level of opinions on competency of academic personnel in general was at a high level (x̄ = 4.54, S.D. = 0.42, and ) 4) The causal factors, motivating factors and supporting factors, had a direct and positive influence on personnel competency and had a positive indirect influence on the performance of the Central Region Rajabhat Universities. The model was consistent with the empirical data, with Chi-square/df = 1.106, GFI = 0.982, CFI = 0.999, RMSEA = 0.007. The results of the study can be used as a guideline for developing personnel competence of the Central Region Rajabhat Universities to be consistent with the university context for the performance to be efficient and effective in supporting the changes in social conditions.
