Among these, innovations involving silk cocoon extracts, particularly natural sericin protein, have gained significant attention for their potential in enhancing skin hydration, reducing inflammation, and providing antioxidant protection. This study examines the key factors influencing the purchasing decisions of working-age consumers in Bangkok regarding skincare products incorporating natural silk cocoon innovations. The research adopts a quantitative methodology, utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed to a sample of individuals aged 20–60 years residing in Bangkok, with monthly incomes of at least 15,000 Baht. The study focuses on both users and non-users of skincare products containing natural extracts. The theoretical framework is grounded in consumer behavior theories and the marketing mix model (4Ps: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion), alongside the assessment of consumer attitudes. The results reveal that both consumer attitudes and marketing mix variables have a statistically significant impact on purchase intentions. Consumers are particularly influenced by product attributes such as perceived quality, natural composition, absence of harmful chemicals, effective skin benefits, and alignment with environmental values. Price sensitivity varies across demographics, but perceived value-for-money remains critical. Accessibility through both offline and online distribution channels, as well as promotional strategies—especially those emphasizing eco-friendliness and scientific validation—also contribute to purchase motivation. Furthermore, the findings highlight the strategic advantage for cosmetic businesses in adopting natural innovations, such as silk cocoon-derived sericin, to differentiate their products in a competitive market. With rising trends in clean beauty, consumer trust in natural ingredients is a major determinant of brand loyalty and repeated purchase behavior. The research suggests that a deeper understanding of consumer attitudes toward natural-based cosmetics can aid manufacturers in tailoring product development, pricing, branding, and communication strategies more effectively.</p> <p> In conclusion, this study provides practical insights for product developers, marketers, and entrepreneurs in the cosmetics industry, especially those focusing on innovation, sustainability, and personalized skincare. It also offers a foundation for further academic inquiry into consumer decision-making behavior in the context of natural cosmetic product consumption, contributing to both theoretical development and practical application in the field of marketing and product innovation.<strong> </strong></p> Rattana Mongkol, Chompunuch Jittithavorn Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Graduate MCU KhonKaen Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/282761 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Academic Administration in the Artificial Intelligence Era of School Administrators Under Bang Khun Thian District Office in Bangkok Metropolis https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/279413 <div>The objectives of this study were 1) to examine the academic administration in the artificial intelligence era of school administrators under Bang Khun Thian District Office Bangkok in Bangkok Metropolis, and 2) to compare teachers’ opinions on academic administration classified by gender, age, educational level, work experience, and school size.

Therefore, cultivating awareness and strategies for carbon emission reduction among future aviation professionals is essential. This requires meaningful and participatory learning processes that foster critical thinking aligned with environmental sustainability objectives.</div> <div>This qualitative study aimed to explore students’ evolving understanding of low carbon concepts within the aviation industry, using the Empathize stage of the Design Thinking process as a core instructional strategy. The participants were 29 second-year airline business students (cohort 66) from the School of Tourism and Hospitality, Suan Dusit University, Suphanburi Campus, enrolled in the course “Organization and Human Resource Management in Airline Business” during the first semester of the 2024 academic year. Data were collected through learning activity sets, worksheets, reflective journals, progress reports, rubrics, and group interviews, and were analyzed using content analysis. The study revealed that students developed a more nuanced understanding across three core dimensions, including the necessity and significance of the issue, practical approaches and technologies, and aspects of organizational management and process design. These insights were accompanied by the development of practical solutions aligned with carbon reduction goals at the operational level, and were further enriched by the experience of engaging with real-world challenges. This combination of knowledge acquisition and practical engagement helped foster systems thinking and a well-rounded integration of knowledge at both individual and group levels.</div> Rinruedee Pattaradej, Apisit Sangseeda, Nipont Raviyan, Nonthaporn Choptaku, Supawat Fungjarukul Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Graduate MCU KhonKaen Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/279970 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 A Study of the Components in Developing Human Resource Management Strategies of Vocational College Administrators Under the Office of Vocational Education Commission in Nongbualamphu Province https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/278716 <p>This The objective of this research was to identify the components of personnel management strategy development for administrators at vocational colleges under the Nong Bua Lam Phu Provincial Office of Vocational Education.

It examines Kautilya’s pragmatic and strategic approach to political leadership, focusing on the principles of power, diplomacy, administration, and the role of morality in governance. Furthermore, the study analyzes 1) how Kautilya emphasizes the necessity of a strong and well-organized state, 2) to interpret of usage of intelligence and realpolitik in maintaining sovereignty, and 3) to analysis of the balancing of ethical considerations with practical governance. Through a critical revisiting of the text, the paper highlights Kautilya’s enduring relevance in understanding political strategy and statecraft, demonstrating how the Arthashastra provides insights that continue to influence contemporary discussions on political authority, policy-making, and the dynamics of power.</p> Samphose Prak Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Graduate MCU KhonKaen Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/282954 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Participatory Water Resource Management in the Context of Thailand https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/279183 <div>Water resource management in Thailand has been mainly carried out by government agencies or community leaders in the past, with limited public participation. Problems have arisen, such as the lack of integration of water resource management policies, lack of budget, lack of public knowledge and awareness, and even problems resulting from climate change. However, the current trend in water resource management has begun to change, with greater emphasis on integration and public participation.</div> <div>The water resource management approach that should be given importance is to emphasize fair participation of communities and related persons to have sufficient water for consumption and use, to be self-reliant in water resources and to maintain the ecosystem and environment appropriately by restoring local wisdom, managing the </div> <div>entire watershed system, creating economic incentives, allowing every sector to express their opinions and play a role in policy-making or adjusting policies to support disasters such as drought or floods that are appropriate for the context of various communities in Thailand. This will result in sustainable water resource development.</div> Eakkarin Tunma, Thanakorn Sirisugandha Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Graduate MCU KhonKaen Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/279183 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Work-Life Harmony : The Tri-Sikkha and Work-Life Balance https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/283520 <p> This article aims to explain the concept of Work-Life Harmony in the context of contemporary society and to analyze the application of the Buddhist Threefold Training (Sila, Samadhi, and Pañña) as an approach to promoting work-life balance and addressing burnout. The study examines the concept of Work-Life Harmony, the causes of burnout, and the relevance of the Threefold Training to work-related well-being. The analysis reveals that burnout is primarily caused by excessive workloads, organizational pressure, personal expectations, and unsupportive work environments. The application of the Threefold Training provides practical guidance by promoting ethical discipline and life regulation (Sila), cultivating mindfulness and concentration in daily work (Samadhi), and applying wisdom to reframe perspectives and make appropriate decisions (Pañña). <br />In terms of academic contribution, this article proposes an integrative conceptual <br />framework that systematically connects contemporary management perspectives with Buddhist philosophy, thereby extending the discourse on work-life balance by <br />incorporating ethical and contemplative dimensions. Regarding practical implications, the findings can be applied to organizational policy development, human resource management, and individual self-management to foster sustainable Work-Life Harmony. In conclusion, integrating Buddhist principles with the concept of Work-Life Harmony not only helps alleviate burnout but also offers a holistic model for cultivating meaningful, balanced, and sustainable working lives at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.</p> PhraAtikanThawitsart Thanachayo (Yubonmat), Thawatchai Sapsombat, Watsana Phonthongtoem, PhrakruSudhisarabandhit (Hanpong) Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Graduate MCU KhonKaen Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jg-mcukk/article/view/283520 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700
