Nowadays, the aviation industry is facing a significant change driven by the power of digital transformation, which is an important tool to improve the travel experience. Digital technology is integrated in every stage of the journey, from the ticketing process to the baggage claim stage, to provide a smooth and seamless travel experience. It is also a touch reduction, which was crucial in the course of the recent Covid-19 pandemic. At the present, the aviation business has introduced digital technology to provide services at every step of the journey, such as booking tickets, contactless payments, travel check-in via application or website electronic passport, automatic loading of luggage, automatic immigration, and automatic airplane boarding gates, etc., which provide passengers with a smooth and seamless travel experience. Contactless technology can help improve operational efficiency by reducing the need for human interaction. This frees up employees to focus on other tasks, such as customer service and reduces waiting time. Airlines need to adapt themselves to meet modern changes, budget resources should be allocated and planned to support digital transformation including preparing to find and train employees to have skills in managing digital technology. However, digital technology may not be able to solve some complex service problems. Therefore, existing technology should be developed to make it easier for people to use in order to gain a competitive advantage and step into the digital transformation efficiently.</p> Lalitlak Tharekes Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 20 4 224 231 APPLYING COMPETENCY TO ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/SPUCJ/article/view/272464 <p> Competency is one of the tools widely used in organizational management. Organizations apply various forms of competencies, including core competency, managerial competency, functional competency, and personal attributes. This study aimed to examine the impact after organizations have applied competency in managing the organization and study the guidelines for applying competency in organizational management. It was found that core competency affected increasing efficiency and effectiveness of employees. Educational factors influenced core competency in different work environments. Jobs heavily relying on competency included human resource management. Effective application of competency involved fostering participation, teamwork, and communication throughout the organization. Guiding the application of competency in organizational management involved identifying core competencies that drove the organization, providing opportunities for employees to express opinions, show potentials, and ensure equal contribution to organizational development in order to foster a sense of belonging among the employees. It was essential for an organization to build a strong team, establish a high-quality communication system, create a supportive work environment for applying competencies, and develop a learning-supportive organizational culture and continuous development. This could start with the higher-educated group before gradually spreading across the organization. Studying the outcomes after using competency helped identify the advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for accurate and appropriate future applications of competency in organizations.</p> Parichat Kunpluem Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 20 4 232 241 AIR TRAVEL EXPERIENCES FOR THE ELDERLY https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/SPUCJ/article/view/272489 <p> This article aimed 1) to explore the significance of air travel for the elderly and 2) to examine the services and amenities that airlines provide for senior passengers. Since the increasing elderly demographic, declining birth rates, advancements in medical care, and health consciousness have significantly reduced mortality rates among the elderly, the elderly demographic has become a crucial customer base both presently and in the future across all sectors, including the aviation industry. According to information from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airlines, related research organizations, research, and various scholarly articles, it was found that the aviation industry placed significant emphasis on elderly passengers. This was evident in the preparation of service formats, provision of amenities, and aircraft design planning to ensure comfort and convenience for elderly travelers. Specifically, elderly passengers were categorized into those who did not require special assistance and those who did, depending on age and health conditions. The objective was to enhance the air travel experience for elderly passengers. According to the 2023 global passenger survey, 80% of the passengers requiring special assistance expressed satisfaction with the level of service provided, highlighting advancements in accessible travel options. Additionally, various airlines had noted a significant increase in demand for special assistance, particularly from elderly passengers and those requiring additional support. This underscored airlines' efforts to tailor services and amenities to meet the diverse needs of elderly passengers, serving as a guideline for the International Air Transport Association (IATA), related entities, and airlines in managing service development and convenience enhancements.</p> Chotika Punpookboon Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 20 4 242 253 MARKETING MIX FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE DECISION TO BUY FROZEN FOOD FROM IMPORTED SEA SKY INTERTRADING CO., LTD https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/SPUCJ/article/view/270428 <p> This research aimed to study 1) marketing mix factors, 2) the decision to purchase frozen food from the Sea Sky Intertrading Co., Ltd., 3) the decision to purchase frozen food from that company classified by personal information, and 4) market mix factors affecting the decision to purchase frozen food from that company.

The study sample consisted of 100 restaurant owners operating dine-in establishments in Thanyaburi District, Pathum Thani Province. This sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's sample size calculation formula, considering a total population of 135 restaurants. The researchers specifically targeted dine-in restaurants operating during evening hours, as these establishments were most severely impacted by the pandemic. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to purposively selected restaurant owners and analyzed using various statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, <em>t</em> test (Independent Samples), <em>F</em> test, and One-Way ANOVA Analysis.</p> <p> It was found that 57 female entrepreneurs were women with an average age between 46 and 55 years old, 48 of them held bachelor's degrees, 39 restaurants’ average monthly revenue was higher than 45,001 baht, 37 restaurants had eight or more employees, and 39 restaurants had been in operation for 3 to 6 years. The following factors were identified as the most significant contributors to the recovery of restaurants in Thanyaburi District: 1) restaurant decoration: lighting design to create atmosphere (average importance rating of 3.70, considered very important), 2) location: proximity to suppliers (average importance rating of 3.69, considered very important), and 3) employee management: providing employees with the tools needed for success (average importance rating of 3.61, considered very important). In addition, the type of food served which included fast food, the price range of the food (0-100 baht), and promotional activities held every seven days were also factors contributing to the recovery of restaurants after the COVID-19 outbreak. When comparing the factors contributing to restaurant recovery, the following observations were made: The age of the entrepreneur had an impact on the recovery of the restaurant. Female entrepreneurs contributed more to restaurant recovery than male entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs with higher education were perceived as more credible than those with lower education. However, the experience and duration of the restaurant owner's business also played a role in the restaurant's recovery. It was necessary for restaurants to reduce the number of employees and rely more on delivery services to achieve recovery.</p> krirkpol Phosaeng Somyos Avakiat Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-25 2024-06-25 20 4 100 111 AN ANALYSIS OF TOURIST OPINION TOWARDS MICHELIN-STARRED THAI RESTAURANTS: APPROACHES TO PROMOTE GASTRONOMY TOURISM https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/SPUCJ/article/view/270679 <p> This research aimed to 1) analyze and categorize the opinions of foreign tourists on Michelin-starred Thai restaurants by distinguishing between positive and negative feedbacks and 2) examine these opinions in relation to the six dimensions of restaurant and dining service quality.

The result revealed that quality value, monetary value, behavioral intentions value, and reputation value affected the loyalty of low-cost airlines among Thai passengers. Consequently, emotional value showed no effect on the loyalty of low-cost airlines among Thai passengers at the statistical significance level of .05.</p> Tanakon Sritonchai Kewalee Krasankul Suraporn Mulkunee Krittika Kunupakan Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 20 4 193 204 A CAUSAL MODEL OF CHINESE CONSUMERS’ DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE VALUE-ATTITUDE ENHANCING NEW FIRST-TIER CITIES’ GREEN FURNITURE CONSUMPTION MARKET https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/SPUCJ/article/view/272374 <p> This study examined the effects of Chinese consumers’ crucial demographic attributes on consumption values and scrutinized the impact of these values on attitudes and their consumption choice behaviors toward green furniture products in the People's Republic of China (PRC)'s new first-tier cities market. This quantitative research employed 36-factor questionnaires on research samples consisting of 832 Chinese consumers from China’s four major new first-tier cities (Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi’an, and Wuhan) which were collected by stratified sampling technique. The data underwent analysis through several statistical methods, including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent <em>t</em> test, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), path analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicated that demographic attributes of the residence city, income, and marital status significantly influenced Chinese consumers’ values. Product value (β=0.61) and eco-friendly system value (β=0.06) positively affected Chinese consumers’ attitudes. Product value (β= 0.82) and eco-friendly system value (β=0.52) also positively affected consumption behaviors. Chinese customers’ consumption behavior on green furniture could also be predicted by attitude (β=0.65) in the PRC’s new first-tier cities market. The paper's final section proposed recommendations for diverse stakeholders, encompassing consumers, enterprises, and government organizations.</p> Ling Chen Prin Laksitamas Copyright (c) 2024 Sripatum University Chonburi Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 20 4 205 223
