| dc.description.abstract | University lecturers are high in human capital value for the development of a nation. In Thailand, there has been inadequate and no-direct empirical evidence of the degree of university lecturer development. This study aims to measure the level of university lecturer development and factors affecting the levels of development for academic staff. The thesis will provide recommendations on how to improve human capital (lecturers) in Rajabhat universities in the Northeast of Thailand. A mixed methods research strategy was employed, which includes quantitative and qualitative data. For quantitative research, questionnaires were used to collect data by using a sample of 284 lecturers out of 968 lecturers from Rajabhat Mahasarakham University, Surin Rajabhat University and Kalasin Rajabhat University. Descriptive and inferential statistics are utilized to test hypotheses. For qualitative research, in-depth interviews and case studies of university lecturer development are used to substantiate and further explain the quantitative results. The results of the study revealed low levels of university lecturer development in the Northeast of Thailand. The chance of gaining further higher education development was recorded as a significant issue as staff were not gaining PhD.’s, whilst university lecturer learning from their own work was common. Factors affecting university lecturer development were; 1) Policy support from external organizations, 2) Communications within organizations, 3) Support from executives, 4) Cooperation with external agencies and 5) Positive incentives. The hypotheses were confirmed at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. The main multiple regression equation used in the study has explanatory power at 47.3 percent. This study confirmed the theory that university lecturer development has relied on both internal and external organization factors, justifying the theory of the significant relationship between closed system and open system organizational theories. Moreover, the results of the qualitative research partially confirmed the findings of the quantitative research while reflecting the fact that lecturer developing should start through lecturers’ personal motivation to increase their own academic credentials. | th |
