           The objectives of this dissertation are (1) to study factors influencing the Professionalism at Works and the Organizational Effectiveness of dangerous goods transport companies, (2) to develop a casual factor Model of Professionalism at Works and Organizational Effectiveness of dangerous goods transport companies, and (3) to verify the consistency of the casual factor Model of Professionalism at Works and Organizational Effectiveness of dangerous goods transport companies which was developed with empirical data. This dissertation was conducted by using Mixed Methods Research including Qualitative Research and Quantitative Research. For the Qualitative Research, the In-dept Interview was conducted with the top management and the assigned personnel of the selected companies transporting dangerous goods between Thailand and Lao P.D.R and registered as international transport enterprises with Department of Land Transport in Thailand with the total number of 10 persons. For the Quantitative Research, the Purposive Sampling was used to conduct the research where the samplings are selected from the top management and the assigned personnel of the selected companies transporting dangerous goods between Thailand and Lao P.D.R and registered as international transport enterprises with Department of Land Transport in Thailand with the total number of 300 persons out of 30 selected companies. There are in total 5 latent variables in this research including Staff Competency at Work, Commitment to Work, Technology Acceptance Model, Professionalism at Work and Organizational Effectiveness. The data collection was collected by Questionnaires between August and December 2020 and collected data was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Focus Group Interview was used to confirm the findings of this Model.

          The research findings suggest that the Staff Competency at Work has direct and positive influence on Professionalism at Work as well as direct and positive influence on Organizational Effectiveness. In addition, the Commitment to Work has direct and positive influence on Professionalism at Work as well as direct and positive influence on Organizational Effectiveness. Furthermore, the Technology Acceptance Model has direct and positive influence on Professionalism at Work as well as direct and positive influence on Organizational Effectiveness. Ultimately, it confirms that these findings are consistent with the determined research hypothesis.
