Abstract
Thailand is leading among ASEAN countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, there is a challenge related to SDG 16 target family well-being, particularly in vulnerable areas like slums. This study seeks to integrate The Individual and Family Self-Management Theory to describe the individual and family management behavior that are associated with family well-being. Using a quantitative research approach, the study surveyed 260 respondents living in slum communities around Pathum Wan district, Bangkok, Thailand. The analysis revealed that participant’s family well-being scores have significant differences among household’s monthly income groups (t = 3.04, p < .003). Meanwhile, psychological and social factors, namely Psychological Capital (β = .78, p < .001), Outcome Expectancy (β = .43,
p < .001), and Social Norms (β = .62, p < .001) significantly predicted the individual and family management behavior. Moreover, the individual and family management behavior significantly predicted family well-being (β = .65, p < .001). Consequently, it is suggested that creating interventions or policies in these slum communities should prioritize these significant variables to enhance the efficacy of improving family well-being and promoting SDGs.
