THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL ON WORK EFFICIENCY OF EMPLOYEE IN HI-TECH CHAIYAPHUM APPAREL COMPANY LIMITED

Abstract

The research on the impact of psychological capital on work efficiency at Hitech Chaiyaphum Apparel Co., Ltd. aimed to explore the level of psychological capital among operational-level employees, to compare personal factors affecting work efficiency, and to examine the influence of psychological capital on work efficiency. The research sample consisted of 286 employees, data collected via structured questionnaires and were subsequently analyzed using statistical techniques, including Independent Samples t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Multiple Regression Analysis. The findings revealed that psychological capital was generally high, with optimism scoring the highest, followed by hope, self-efficacy, and resilience. Overall, work efficiency was also high, with the quantity of work receiving the highest rating, followed by quality, time, and cost. Differences in gender, age, and income did not lead to significant variations in work efficiency. However, employees with different work experience levels showed differences in time management, and those with different education levels had significant differences in both work quantity and time. Resilience was the only dimension of psychological capital that significantly affected work efficiency, while hope, optimism, and self-efficacy did not have a statistically significant impact.
