The study investigates the pivotal role of Human Capital (HC) factors in achieving and sustaining Competitive Advantage (CA) within the dynamic logistics service industry, focusing on a major regional player, ABC (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV), this quantitative research utilizes a survey methodology with a sample of 200 personnel calculated by Taro Yamane’s formula, employing a multi-stage sampling method that combined stratified sampling by functional area with systematic random sampling. The study examined four key Human Capital dimensions (education, work experience, training and skill development, and health and well-being), against the firm's overall Competitive Advantage (cost leadership, differentiation, and market focus). Stepwise Multiple Regression analysis revealed that the HC factors collectively account for 70.90% of the variance in CA. Specifically, Health and Well-being (β=0.50), Training and Skill Development (β=0.39), and Education (β=0.19) significantly enhance CA. Crucially, the finding that Work Experience exerts a statistically significant negative influence (β=-0.21) highlights the risk of knowledge obsolescence and organizational inertia in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment. The research concludes that strategic investment in employee holistic well-being and continuous skill renewal is the critical differentiator for modern logistics firms.

APPLICATION OF FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS IN MANAGING PUBLIC WAREHOUSE RISK: A CASE STUDY OF XYZ WAREHOUSE, CHONBURI PROVINCE

Tanutpats Dhiratanuttdilok — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objective of this research is to examine the impacts of operational failures occurring within a public warehouse located in Chonburi Province and to propose systematic risk management guidelines through the application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. A case study methodology was employed, consisting of four sequential stages: 1) risk identification, 2) risk analysis and assessment, 3) risk treatment, and 4) risk monitoring. Data were collected from secondary sources, together with information obtained from 10 key informants and 5 risk evaluators.
The research findings reveal eight distinct impacts of public warehouse failures. Further analysis using FMEA identified fourteen underlying causes. Based on these results, three categories of risk management strategies were proposed: 1) risk mitigation for 14 causes, 2) risk transfer for 2 causes, and 3) risk avoidance for 1 cause, with some incidents requiring multiple approaches. This study offers a practical framework for organizations operating public or private warehouses to enhance the effectiveness of their risk management practices.

FACTORS RELATED TO ATTITUDE TOWARDS HAVING CHILDREN AMONG GENERATION Z NURSING STUDENTS: A CASE STUDY BOROMARAJONANI COLLEGE OF NURSING IN SOUTHERN THAILAND

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research aimed to examine attitudes toward having children among Generation Z nursing students. The sample consisted of 220 nursing students from a Boromarajonani College of Nursing in Southern Thailand. Stratified sampling by year of study was employed, followed by simple random sampling using a lottery method. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Content validity was confirmed with an Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) ranging from .67 to 1, and the overall reliability of the questionnaire yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .92. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
The results revealed that the overall level of attitudes toward having children among Generation Z nursing students was high (=3.57, SD=0.77). The number of siblings in the family was significantly associated with attitudes toward having children (χ²=84.51, p<.00). Additionally, the perceived value and importance of children showed a strong positive correlation with attitudes toward having children at a statistically significant level (r=.66, p<.00). The findings of this study can be utilized as a guideline for integrating attitudes toward having children into nursing education, thereby supporting students in life planning and future professional practice.
