    Low-cost carrier passenger repurchase intention: A structural equation model analysis
    Low-cost carrier (LCC) aviation has exploded globally, which now represents 26% of all passenger seats, while in Southeast Asia LCC passengers have soared to 54%. The purpose of this research was, therefore, to develop and examine the accuracy of a structural equation model of the factors affecting repurchase intention of low-cost carrier passengers in Thailand. Convenience sampling was utilized to obtain a sample of 440 individuals from four Thai low-cost carriers, including Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air (Don Muang Airport-DMK), and Thai Smile Airways (Suvarnabhumi Airport-BKK) in 2016. To examine the study’s five latent and 22 observed variables, a 97-item survey was used. Results from the study determined the positive and significant influences that customer satisfaction has on customer loyalty, followed by electronic service quality on customer satisfaction, and customer satisfaction on repurchase intention, respectively.

    Analysis of fixed broadband access and use in Thailand: Drivers and barriers
    (2013-01-01) ;
    Bohlin, Erik
    The aim of this paper is to analyze the demand for fixed broadband in Thailand. Data were obtained from a national survey in 2010 by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) of Thailand. The bivariate probit model was employed to examine empirically whether accessibility to fixed telephony infrastructure, socio-economic variables and the area of residence have a systematic link to fixed broadband access in the first stage, and then, specific usage, provided access exists, is estimated. Results of this study show that the variables, together with their potential impact, are as follows: fixed infrastructure, income, gender, level of education, age of consumer and residential area. The impact of these factors varies from service to service (i.e. video download, social network, searching and e-mail). The implications for the NBTC are to encourage competition through the infrastructure and to permit more competition in infrastructure development. This could stimulate the growth of fixed broadband access and use. At the same time, the government could also implement policies to encourage more access and usage, for example income subsidization and training program. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

    AI-powered mixed reality acceptance in mining: A PLS-SEM and Bayesian Network modeling
    (2025-12-01)
    Yudhistyra, Wecka Imam
    ;
    Facilitating digital transformation and sustainable management in the mining industry requires a strategic understanding of how emerging technologies are perceived and adopted by the workforce. Given the sector's traditionally conservative culture and its resistance to change, there remains a pressing need for empirical investigations that illuminate the pathways toward successful innovation adoption. This study explores the acceptance of AI-powered Mixed Reality (AIPMR) technology among the mining workforce in Indonesia, focusing on its potential to revolutionize human-machine interaction and contribute to smart mining solutions. Drawing upon the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), an extended conceptual framework was developed to examine the influence of six key factors on employees’ intentions to adopt AIPMR technologies. Data were collected from 304 mining employees and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), further complemented by Bayesian Network analysis to enhance predictive robustness and uncover probabilistic interdependencies. The empirical results demonstrate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived novelty, top management support, and corporate culture significantly influence employees' attitudes toward adopting AIPMR technology, which subsequently impacts their acceptance of this innovation. The model in this research accounts for 72.6 % of the variance in intention to adopt AIPMR technology innovation. This research contributes to the literature by offering a data-driven foundation for developing decision support systems that align with the socio-technical dynamics of the mining industry. It also provides actionable insights for stakeholders seeking to implement technology acceptance strategies that facilitate sustainable digital transformation through the integration of AI-powered Mixed Reality in high-risk industrial environments.

    Uncertainty of public pay phone in Thailand: Implications for the universal service obligation
    (2014-01-01)
    Public pay telephones are fast becoming technological dinosaurs headed quickly toward extinction. In Thailand, however, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has included the public pay phone as part of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) to ensure that all people in the country have reasonable access to a standard telephone service on request, and that payphones are accessible to all people on an equitable basis, wherever they live or carry on business. In spite of this, however, public pay phones and their revenue are also sharply declining due to the ever increasing encroachment of mobile phone technology. The researcher therefore undertook a study to empirically examine the key determinant factors for individual consumers using public payphones. A discrete choice model is employed together with the analysis of data from a 2011 national survey commissioned by the NBTC. Payphone usage is determined by the ownership of fixed phones, mobile phones and income which all play an important role with payphone being a necessary service for low-income people. Hence, NBTC should continue support through the USO fund and reassess the areas and groups of people who need this service in order to ensure that the USO policy is effectively and beneficially implemented.

    Consumer Behavior in Subscription to Media Content from Over-The-Top (OTT) Service
    (2023-06-01)

    Over-the-top (OTT) services for content programming are growing rapidly in Thailand. Services are generally provided in both paid and free ad-supported formats. This research examines the behavior of paying for additional OTT services for content programming. The analysis is divided into two steps: the decision-making process between paid and free formats and an analysis of factors affecting the paid service format. Heckman’s two-step estimation is used to solve the problem of systematically selected data, combined with data from a survey of OTT service users in Thailand, which was conducted by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission in 2019. The results show that several factors lead to a higher likelihood of choosing the free format. Additionally, some factors increase the likelihood of users paying less for the service. The study highlights the importance of non-tariff factors in the decision-making process of users, which can be used as a competitive tool by free ad-supported OTT service providers against paid service providers. Regulatory agencies can use the study's findings to monitor the competition in the OTT service market for content programming in Thailand.

    Determining spectrum caps and service efficiency: A case study of mobile operators in Thailand
    (2021-11-01) ;
    Srinuan, Pratompong
    Mobile spectrum is a crucial natural resource, which is essential in a nation's economic growth and a mobile operator's business operations and sustainability. Moreover, spectrum auctions have become a common method for spectrum allocation by telecom regulators in recent decades. In Thailand, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) over the past years has used a spectrum cap setting mechanism to encourage more competition in both the auctions and in the market after the auctions. This mechanism also allows regulators to determine the number of mobile operators in the market. However, regulatory mandated spectrum caps can potentially harm a large mobile operator's performance since spectrum caps can preclude large carriers from getting more necessary spectrum to support their customers' demand. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to demonstrate the effect of spectrum caps' determination using frequency allocation in Thailand as a case study. This paper employs data from Q3 2012 - Q1 2020 for the three major mobile operators in Thailand (AIS, TRUE, and DTAC) and analyzes the mean difference of six operating parameters by 1 MHz spectrum and the industry average. Results revealed that AIS was the largest carrier with the most spectrum amount, the greatest number of users, with revenue exceeding the industry average. AIS also had a statistically significant operational efficiency in all six of the evaluated dimensions. However, TRUE which is second in the total number of users in Thailand was determined to have no statistically significant operating efficiencies. Furthermore, the study determined that operators need additional spectrum so that they can increase market share through improved service quality. Finally, the empirical evidence suggests that spectrum caps when set in conjunction with each auction did not create any significant operator's efficiency problem.

    Exploring the acceptance of mixed reality technology innovation among mining industry workers
    (2024-11-01)
    Yudhistyra, Wecka Imam
    ;
    Mixed Reality (MR) technology is an innovative technology that has the capability to transform and boost productivity in the mining industry. At the same time, the scarcity of guidelines and research in examining the acceptance of MR technology innovation in the mining sector could make the adoption of MR technology innovation unpredictable. Therefore, in order to support the successful adoption of MR technology innovation in the mining sector, this manuscript is designed to better understand the factors influencing its acceptance among workers. Based on the literature review, five factors are hypothesized to influence the acceptance of mining industry workers regarding MR technology innovation. The factors underwent testing on a sample of 253 mining industry workers, which was obtained via an office-intercept survey and processed using SmartPLS software. The model has proven to be highly robust, as indicated by its outstanding scores in validity, reliability, multicollinearity, and goodness of fit. The results from the analysis indicate that attitude, perceived usefulness, and perceived compatibility are significant factors influencing the acceptance of MR technology innovation. While perceived novelty is an important factor affecting attitude, it does not significantly impact the acceptance of MR technology innovation. Moreover, perceived ease of use was not found to be a significant factor in influencing the attitude and intention to adopt MR technology innovation. This research offers both theoretical and managerial implications for its findings.

    Research was reviewed globally from mobile/cellular carriers to develop the six antecedents (customer satisfaction, perceived service quality, customer trust, corporate image, perceived value, and perceived switching costs) contributing to mobile customer loyalty in Thailand. Data were drawn from interviews with 515 Thai mobile users, who were asked about customer satisfaction, service quality perceptions, and customer loyalty. Findings suggest that perceived service quality and value have a direct positive influence on customer satisfaction: if the customer’s perception of service quality and customer satisfaction is high, it has a strong influence on customer loyalty. Additionally, if the perceived service quality is high, it has a direct impact on perceived value and customer satisfaction, in terms of price, value, terms, and reasonable carrier services. Finally, perception regarding switching costs is recognized in non-monetary terms and plays a key role in influencing customer loyalty.

    Work-related generative artificial intelligence adoption and employee-perceived organisational performance in Thailand's manufacturing industry
    (2026-10-01)
    Yudhistyra, Wecka Imam
    ;
    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly integrated into organisational work processes, yet its implications for manufacturing firms cannot be inferred from adoption intention or usage frequency alone. In contrast to deterministic workplace technologies, GenAI produces probabilistic and context-responsive outputs whose organisational value depends on employees' ability to evaluate, interpret, and apply generated content effectively. This research examines how work-related GenAI use is associated with employee perceptions of GenAI-enabled organisational performance in Thailand's manufacturing sector. Drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework, the Human-Centred Design paradigm, and Knowledge Management theory, the research develops a framework in which perceived usability, knowledge acquisition, knowledge application, and performance expectancy influence behavioural intention, which subsequently affects use behaviour and employee-perceived GenAI-enabled organisational performance. Survey data from 381 manufacturing employees with prior GenAI experience were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. Bayesian Network (BN) algorithms were subsequently employed to refine the theoretical structure by identifying conditional dependencies beyond the hypothesised model, while Artificial Neural Networks and Importance-Performance Map Analysis provided complementary predictive and managerial insights. The results support all hypothesised relationships. The BN-refined model further identifies direct links between knowledge application, performance expectancy, and organisational performance, suggesting that, in addition to adoption and use, GenAI-derived value also depends on employees' capacity to translate AI-generated knowledge into workplace outcomes. The findings advance technology adoption research by developing and validating a GenAI-specific extension of the UTAUT that integrates human-centred design and knowledge management perspectives. The research further demonstrates that organisational value is realised through a sequential pathway linking adoption antecedents, behavioural intention, and use behaviour, while providing policy-relevant evidence on workforce-driven AI adoption in an emerging economy undergoing digital transformation.

    An empirical analysis of multiple services and choices of consumer in the Swedish telecommunications market
    (2014-01-01)

    Received analyses state that firms can use a multiple services offering strategy to retain customers and capture new customers. Factors that determine the multiple services strategy include product discount, service provider and customer characteristics. Consequently, this study addresses the fundamental question: what are the key determining factors that explain the probability that a consumer buys multiple services? A generalized Poisson regression model is employed to examine whether the product discount, service provider, socio-economic variables and geographical location impact consumer decisions. Data from a national survey in 2009 commissioned by Post-och Telestyrelsen, the Swedish telecommunications regulator, are analyzed. The results clearly show that the discount, service provider and income of the consumer affect the consumers buying decision. A consumer who receives a discount or has a high income is more likely to buy multiple services or select more services from the current service provider into his basket than a consumer who does not receive discount or has lower income. Service providers, cable TV operators and telecommunications carriers can also lock-in their consumer and expand their market position from one particular service to another using bundling service. Thus, this may be the time for the telecommunications regulator to consider the market definition. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
