Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the level of learning organization characteristics and their influence on role performance within family physician teams. The sample consisted of 245 Village Health Volunteers from Nabon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by using descriptive statistics to describe the characteristics of the study sample and the level of learning organization characteristics. The relationship between learning organization characteristics and role performance within family physician teams was analyzed using simple linear regression.

   The study found that the overall level of learning organization characteristics among VHVs was high (M = 4.04, S.D. = 0.53). The regression coefficients of the predictors indicated that leadership and vision building had the greatest influence on role performance within family physician teams (Beta = 0.249 and 0.242, respectively), followed by systems thinking and problem-solving (Beta = 0.201), knowledge management (Beta = 0.161), and self-awareness (Beta = 0.132) (constant = 0.146; SEb ± 0.298; R = 0.866; R² = 0.750; F = 143.587; p-value < 0.001). Therefore, there is a need to enhance learning processes among VHVs by promoting knowledge management processes in each community, building a shared vision, and fostering self-awareness through capacity development facilitated by the directors of the responsible sub-district health promoting hospitals.
