Abstract

        In this research investigation, the researchers compare job satisfaction of the office workers with various gender identities (LGBT) based on the differences in demographic factors. The researchers examine the influence of organizational climate on job satisfaction of the office workers under study.


        It was found that the highest proportion of questionnaire respondents were gay, single, aged between 30 and 39 years, Buddhist, with a bachelor’s degree, a monthly income of 35,000-50,000 baht, and work experience of five to eight years. It was also found that the perception of organizational climate was at a high level with the mean of 3.46 and job satisfaction at a high level with the mean of 3.97. The multiple regression analysis found that organizational climate exhibited the influence on job satisfaction at the statistically significant level of .05. The practical aspect (Beta = 0.708) exhibited a higher weight than the attitude aspect (Beta = 0.405). The coefficients were directly positive.
