Quantitative research was done with data collected by online questionnaire. 1,200 samples were Bangkok residents over age 20. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis (enter method). Results were that during the pandemic lockdown in Bangkok, samples were displaying high levels of micro and macro-level social capital as well as donation behavior. Samples primarily donated to communities, hospitals, and acquaintances, in decreasing order of significance, at an average individual amount of 2,486.42 baht. In addition, population factors included religion, highest educational level, and pandemic lockdown-related stress, micro-level social capital factors included public consciousness, mutual societal trust, social network participation and macro-level social capital factors included social institutional norms and cultivation as well as faith or religious belief influenced donations at a statistical significance of .05.

It also elucidates the difficulties encountered by Thai learners in mastering English consonant sounds. It identifies specific difficulties with initial fricatives (excluding /f/, /s/, /h/) and affricates. Difficulties in producing consonant clusters include replacing one consonant sound with another, omitting consonants, and inserting extra consonants. The problematic final consonant sounds are fricatives, affricates, and laterals due to the differences between the phonological systems of English and Thai. To enhance the pronunciation skills of Thai learners and address the challenges in pronouncing English consonants, emphasis should be placed on explicitly teaching these problematic sounds. Additionally, the factors contributing to these difficulties and potential strategies for addressing them are discussed. This paper also provides insights into effective approaches for improving the pronunciation skills of Thai learners to accurately articulate English consonants.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 The Golden Teak : Humanity and Social Science Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/tgt/article/view/265346 New Zealand's Public Administration Experience in the COVID-19 Pandemic 2023-05-04T12:00:03+07:00 Naphatpapa Sawangnuwatkul naphatpapa@gmail.com <p>This academic article intends to present a model of government administration for controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus. By learning from New Zealand's public sector management expertise, one of the nations regarded as one of the finest in the world for managing the spread of COVID-19. New Zealand draws on its experience handling the influenza epidemic to guide its response to the spread of COVID-19 through its Elimination Strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand. The strategy has been modified to operate in four phases: 1) Keep it out, 2) Prepare for it, 3) Stamp it out, and 4) Manage the impact. It has been found, through lessons learned, that the factors leading to success in management consist of strong leadership, effective communication, collaborative decision-making, effective policy management, and building agile capability. This finding shows that New Zealand has effectively adhered to crisis management principles. They emphasize clear policies, adaptable strategies, and creating operational cooperation among stakeholders in all sectors to quickly manage the situation. As a result, New Zealand has managed COVID-19 effectively and efficiently, demonstrating a sustainable strategy that other nations might follow.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 The Golden Teak : Humanity and Social Science Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/tgt/article/view/264173 Learning Leadership must Stay Hungry and Stay Empty 2023-06-08T09:48:51+07:00 supawadee lapcharoen supawadeela2@gmail.com <p>Leadership is an important function for the success and survival of an organization. This is because leaders have the responsibility to seek meaning and higher purposes as well as using reasoning beyond positive psychology. They pay attention to conditions and processes that contribute to collaborative participation towards the ultimate goals, and they have direct responsibility for planning, commanding, overseeing, and controlling the organization’s personnel to achieve the set objectives and goals. Consequently, the focus lies in how leaders behave or what methods they employ to establish a bond with their subordinates, encouraging them to be committed to their work and strive to achieve success wholeheartedly. Particularly, in a learning leadership context, the leader’s actions and approaches have an impact on building a learning organization. They should possess characteristics and behaviors such as creating shared visions, being a learning person themselves, being open-minded, constantly desiring to acquire new knowledge, being supportive, encouraging subordinates to develop existing skills and learn new ones. They should also avoid negative thinking, foster teamwork, focus on performance outcomes, and create a positive work environment that inspires and motivates. This article is all about learning and leadership. We'll explore what makes great learning leaders, how they can get even better, and what they do in their important role. Think of it as a roadmap for creating a community that loves learning and sharing what they know. Whether you're good at understanding how people feel or handling tricky talks, we'll show you how to connect with others and inspire big changes together. We'll also talk about the importance of leaders staying humble and eager to learn. It's all about keeping an open mind and being excited about new ideas. So, let's dive in and discover how to become awesome learning leaders.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 The Golden Teak : Humanity and Social Science Journal
