Factors Affecting Performance Efficiency among Employees in Machine Installed Production Line, Songkhla

Abstract

This research purposes are 1) the working factors that affect performance, 2) level of performance efficiency, 3) the difference in performance efficiency by personal factors and 4) the relationship between working factors and performance efficiency. The study was conducted in machine installation industrial workers at Songkhla province. Samples of 110 peoples were recruited by stratified simple random sampling. Data were analyzed by applying frequency, percentage, standard deviation, t- test,            the one-way ANOVA , Scheffe test and multiple regression analysis.

5. The relationship between the factors that affect performance and operational efficiency in its operations by value), the performance of prognosis R2 equal. 054 said that the possibility of the assumption that the factors. a powerful influence on the performance of the five areas relating to the efficiency of the operation. The percentage. 5.40 The remaining 99.46 per cent is due to the influence of other variables. The working factor in term of stability and progress in work was associated with the performance efficiency significantly (0.05).
