CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP OF MANAGEMENT WITH EDUCATIONAL CRITERIA FOR PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE IN THE RAJAMANGALA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY THANYABURI

Abstract

The study of the causal relationship of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi aims to: 1) study causal factors of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, 2) develop a causal relationship model of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, and 3) examine consistency of a causal relationship model of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. A sample of 350 lecturers and administrators were randomly selected from five pilot faculties that have implemented educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi under Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation in the 2020 academic year. The instrumentation used in the study, there was a questionnaire adapted by the researcher. The data analysis used descriptive statistics in terms of relationship coefficient, Skewness: Sk, Kurtosis: Ku, along with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and structural equation modeling (SEM).

        The results of the study showed that: 1) the causal relationship of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi is consisted with organizational leadership, customers, measurement, analysis, and knowledge management, workforce, strategy, operations and results; 2) the model of the causal relationship of management with educational criteria for performance excellence at the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi included organizational leadership, customers, measurement, analysis, the knowledge management and workforce which were independent variable, the strategy and operations were mediating variables and the outcomes were dependent variables. 3) the developing model has become organizational leadership variables, customer variables, measurement variables, analysis and knowledge management variables and workforce, there were an exogenous latent variable that indirectly linked with the performance result variable as represented by using the strategy variables and operating variables which were an endogenous latent variables that transmitted the relations between the organizational leadership variables, customer variables, measurement, analysis and knowledge management variables and workforce variables to the result variables that the model is consistent to empirically data as the statistic (X2/df) = 2.80, IFI = .97, NFI = .96, TLI = .96, CFI = .97, GFI = .87 และ RMSEA = .07
