In the quantitative phase, the researcher studied a sample population of 500 subjects employed in the Thai automotive industry. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Using techniques of descriptive statistics, the researcher analyzed the data collected in terms of percentage, mean and standard deviation. Adopting the structural equation model, the researcher conducted further analysis by virtue of applying the structural equation model through the agency of the partial least square graph (PLS-Graph) 3.0 computer software program.
