    Trimetsoontorn, Jirasek
    ;
    The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of human resource management (HRM) practices on firm performance in Thailand's manufacturing industrial Zone 2, a region that has seen an influx of foreign investment. Twenty-three theoretically based hypotheses have been developed that point to possible positive and negative relationships between HRM practices, mediating variables and firm performance. A total of 224 top managers, business leaders and line managers provided the input that was examined and then empirically tested using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) Path Analysis. The results show that HRM practices do strongly influence firm performance, a conclusion that is not only consistent with the results of previous research on the subject, but also indicative of methods that of ever-increasing importance to long-term growth in organisations. This study has provided new insight into HRM practices and firm performance, getting to the heart of the role that mediating variables play in the network of relationships.

    Determinants of the state railway of Thailand’s (SRT) total quality management process: SEM analysis
    (2018-01-01)

    ;
    Dropping from the peak of 88 million passengers back in 1994, Thailand’s state railway system today is transporting less than 50% of its maximum. Operations run at a loss, with infrastructure and aged equipment contributing to significant delays and a continuing loss of passengers. In late 2017 however, a new 20-year, $US81.57 billion plan was proposed to save the SRT from its downward spiral. The researchers therefore undertook a study to survey 500 Thai state railway (SRT) civil servants. Each was given a 5-level Likert-type agreement scale questionnaire, containing 51 items concerning their personal characteristics, their attitudes, human resource management processes, the use of the balanced scorecard for improvement, their perspectives on SRT’s organizational culture, and the SRT’s total quality management program. LISREL 9.1 was used to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and then structural equation model (SEM) was applied to analyze the results. The results have determined that organizational culture had the greatest impact on total quality management, followed by attitudes, human resource management, and finally, the balanced scorecard. It is also interesting to note that the surveyed SRT staff consider organizational change as the most important aspect in improving efficiency, while staff evaluation and reward system were rated as least effective for total quality management.
