Administering Operations of the Sub-District Administrative Organisation in Khon Kaen Province with Regard to Public Value Management Paradigm

Abstract

This research was to investigate the water-scarceness solving operations in Sawang village by the Pawaenang Sub-District Administrative Organisation, Khon Kaen Province’s Banfang District being relevant to the Public Value Management Paradigm, and to search for paradigmatic bound. Qualitative technique was utilised. 15 persons were key informants. Theoretical-based Typological Analysis was used entirely as data analysis technique. The findings were that the organisation studied had executively operated mainly with regard to the Public Value Management Paradigm in every fundamental procedure, except for the external stakeholder participation in collective activity on solving water scarceness. The previous executive’s transparent accountability seemed likely to be significantly the major public value in administering performances - searching for the preferable value, operational capacity and legitimate authorisation, respectively. Such values as satisfaction, equity and public legitimacy emerging within the steps of value searching and achieving effectiveness. Whilst efficiency has been relative to shareholders’  feelings of trust and confidence to the organisation studied and external provision-agency who delivered satisfactorily purified water, as a public service, to this village. There was not any paradigmatic bound. Remarkably, a new dimension of public value significantly found, which has not been appeared within this paradigm, in terms of benevolently-valuable-effectiveness - as purified water has also been generously allocated to external society by courtesy of the village’s committee.
