Abstract
This research study aims to examine the levels of motivational factors, the self-development needs of personnel at the Northern Agriculture and Forestry College, and the influencing of motivational factors on their self-development needs. A quantitative research methodology was employed, with a population comprising all 63 personnel affiliated with the Northern Agriculture and Forestry College. A questionnaire using a rating scale, and data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation, and motivational factors were examined using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings revealed that the overall level of motivational factors for self-development was high (µ = 4.00), while the overall level of self-development needs was also high (µ = 4.00). Furthermore, five predictor variables were identified as having a significant influence on the self-development needs of personnel: achievement, wok itself, responsibilities, advancement, and salary and benefits. These factors collectively accounted for 52.80% of the variance in self-development needs among personnel at the Northern Agriculture and Forestry College in the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
