This research aimed to study the psychosocial factors related to the working competency
of the supporting staffs of Mahasarakham University and create the predicted equation.
Research samples were 322 staff members, were retrieved by using the Stratified Random
Sampling technique. The research instrument was three past working competency of the
supporting staffs Past 1 status the checklist measurement Past 2 work competency test the
rating scale measurement on with 30 item a discriminating power (rxy) ranged from 0.31 to
0.66 with a reliability 0.91. Past 3 Psychosocial Factors test the rating scale measurement on
with 60 item 6 side namely, personality (P1) a discriminating power (rxy) ranged from 0.35 to
0.61 with a reliability 0.78. boredom (P2) a discriminating power (rxy) ranged from 0.35 to 0.51
with a reliability 0.75. self -efficacy (P3) a discriminating power (rxy) ranged from 0.33 to 0.55
with a reliability 0.85. personal needs in work (P4) a discriminating power (rxy) ranged from
0.30 to 0.58 with a reliability 0.71. organizational environment (P5) a discriminating power (rxy)

The predicted factors had a correlation coefficient (R) to the work competency
of the supporting staff of Mahasarakham University was namely, personality (P1) self -efficacy
(P3) organizational environment (P5). The predicted factors had a correlation coefficient (R2)
43 percent and could be described as a predicted equation as described as follows:
Raw Score Equation
Y′ = .48 + .49 P1 + .31 P3 + .13 P5
Standard Score Equation
Z′Y = .35 Z1 + .37 Z3 + .14 Z5
