Abstract

      This article was a research study of factors that affected the outcome of the Thai labor productivity project of the Department of Skill Development (DSD),  with three objectives of 1) To analyze the opinions of labor productivity officers, 2) To analyze the satisfaction of medium-sized enterprises, and 3) To test a model of factors that affect the outcome of the Thai labor productivity project.


             The instruments used to collect data was survey forms sent to two groups of samples: that is, the officers of the DSD and employees of 135 Thai SMEs who participated in the labor productivity project through online channels of the DSD. The analysis of the survey data applied structural equation modeling techniques by using programs SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0.


             The research results of the opinion surveys of officers in two dimensions found that: (1) opinions on methods of consultation were moderate to most agreed and (2) opinions on methods of training were agreed to most agreed. The satisfaction surveys of participating enterprises in three dimensions found that: (1) satisfaction with officers were satisfied to most satisfied, (2) satisfaction with methods of consultation and training were most satisfied, and (3) satisfaction with outcomes of the project were most satisfied.


                                The results revealed that opinions of officers and satisfaction of participating enterprises positively affected the outcomes of the project. However, there were no direct effects between opinions and satisfaction and there were no indirect effects between opinions and satisfaction on the outcomes.
