https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/272590
<p>This study investigates the impact of leadership styles on employee engagement in the digital economy, focusing on employees in Guangxi, China. Utilizing structural equation modeling to analyze data from 358 respondents, the research examines the effects of transactional and transformational leadership on engagement, with organizational commitment and psychological ownership as mediators. Results indicate a significant positive impact of leadership style on employee engagement, organizational commitment, and psychological ownership. Leadership style directly predicts employee engagement (β = 0.80, p < .001), while also influencing engagement indirectly through organizational commitment (β = 0.25, p < .001) and psychological ownership (β = 0.39, p < .001). These findings underscore the importance of leadership style in enhancing engagement within the digital economy, highlighting the mediating roles of organizational commitment and psychological ownership. This study contributes to the literature by elucidating the mechanisms through which leadership influences engagement in digital contexts, offering insights for leaders to foster a more committed and psychologically invested workforce.</p>Fang LIUSutthikarn KHONG-KHAIWinitra LEELAPATTANAChin-Fa TSAI

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/273596
<p>This study establishes a model of users' purchase intention in the context of social media marketing based on the Uses and Gratifications Theory. It explores the effects of the five dimensions of social media marketing: entertainment, customization, interactivity, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and trendiness on the three different levels of user engagement: consumption-based participation, contribution-based participation and creation-based participation. Using an online survey with convenience sampling approach, the study collects data from 469 Chinese adults’ consumers who are experienced Weibo social-media users. Structural equation modelling was used to test the links between social-media-marketing elements, consumer engagement and purchase intention. The results show that, first, interactivity and eWOM have significant positive effects on the three dimensions of user engagement, but entertainment, customization, and trendiness only have significant positive effects on consumption-based participation, contribution-based participation, and not on creation-based participation. Furthermore, both consumption-based participation and contribution-based participation have a significant positive effect on purchase intention, while creation-based participation has a non-significant effect. This research not only enriches theoretically the relationship between social media marketing, consumer engagement, and purchase intention, but also provides guidance for brand enterprise to improve their social media marketing in practice.</p>Yue HUANGChanchai BUNCHAPATTANASAKDALu SUOBoonyaporn Boonmek

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/274057
<p>The legalization of cannabis for medical and industrial use in Thailand in 2019 sparked growth in the cannabis cultivation sector. This transformative shift led to changes in market dynamics, influencing the industry's competitive behavior. This study examines the market structure and competitive behavior of Thailand's cannabis cultivation sector from 2019 to 2021, post-decriminalization. It assesses the market structure, focusing on the industry concentration and competitive dynamics, using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) to quantify cannabis cultivation area concentration. Results show an annual increase in the number of market firms, notably in 2021, with community enterprises surging by 291 since 2019. Cannabis cultivation expanded across all regions, indicating heightened market competition, and midstream-downstream industries were significantly related to cannabis farm presence in each district (P-value 0.004). HHI analysis reveals an average of 3,259.23 from 2019 to 2021, identifying a deconcentrated market in 2021, with increasing competition rates yearly. Findings suggest market behavior characterized by rising competition, expanding firms—especially community enterprises—and widespread cannabis cultivation farm distribution nationwide.</p>Siriyaporn KANHACHONWatcharapong RATISUKPIMOL

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/274934
<p>This study investigates the stock market in Thailand in response to Pfizer and BioNTech's announcement of successful vaccine development in phase III. The event study methodology analyzes such responses through cumulative abnormal returns of 28 sector indices. The result showed that the overall CAAR experienced significant cumulative abnormal returns during the announcement period. Agribusiness and personal care and pharmaceutical sector indices were found to be significantly negative. In contrast, property development, automobile, and healthcare service sector indices were significantly positive. In addition, cumulative abnormal returns exhibited insignificance for the post-announcement period. It is suggested that investors cannot make an abnormal return consistently because the market adjusted to its balances.</p>Chutipond PRABHONGSurang HENSAWANG

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/273108
<p>Business entrepreneurs who want to expand their business and distribution channels to support the growth of electronic commerce should understand the factors affecting the acceptance of artificial intelligence in electronic commerce. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that affect the acceptance of artificial intelligence in electronic commerce. These factors can be examined according to the guidelines of the technology acceptance model, which includes thirteen elements: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, subjective norm, compensation, experience, perceived value, technical complexity, enjoyment, perceived risk, perceived innovativeness, perceived information quality, and perceived customization. Three factors may act as mediator variables: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived value. This is because using artificial intelligence to support customers in buying products online can enhance their shopping experience and satisfaction. Business entrepreneurs can leverage these factors to adjust their service strategies, using artificial intelligence as a tool to support e-commerce in various contexts and for different populations.</p>Kanokwan KANCHANATANEE

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/275218
<p>Investigated in this study is the impact of work-life balance on task performance, with organizational support serving as the moderating factor. The focus is on the Generation Z workforce in Central Thailand. The data collection sample consisted of 160 participants using convenience sampling and analyzed using Process Macro model 1. Findings indicate that all dimensions of work-life balance positively influence task performance, and the strongest effect was exerted by the work dimension. Additionally, the moderating effect of organizational support significantly enhances the relationship between work-life balance and task performance. The intellectual dimension, when moderated by organizational support, has the most pronounced impact on task performance. These results generate valuable insights, and they have both theoretical and practical implications for managing Generation Z in Central Thailand. Studies have shown that varying levels of organizational support constitute a key factor influencing task performance. Specifically, a high level of organizational support leads to markedly higher task performance. A discussion of these findings along with implications for theory and practice is presented.</p>Nuanluk SANGPERMThittarat PIMPAPORN

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/275397
<p>Omni-channel retailing, an innovative strategy that integrates online and physical operations, is becoming increasingly popular among firms. This tendency emphasizes the necessity for a more profound understanding of consumers’ purchasing behavior within this context. The omni-channel research has been mainly concentrated on the retail and travel industries, with less attention paid to professional services. This research seeks to improve our understanding of how clients’ experiences across multiple channels influence their intention to purchase a certain professional service, particularly legal services, within a comprehensive omnichannel environment. Utilizing the Stimulus-Organism-Response theory, this study gathered 410 valid surveys by the offline snowball approach and subsequently employed PLS 4.0 to analyze the collected data. The results indicate that the five components of the omnichannel customer experience - connectivity, integration, consistency, flexibility, and personalization - have a significant influence on the perceived seamless, which in turn influences consumers’ intention to purchase legal services. The influence of personalization on the development of seamless experiences is particularly noteworthy among all these factors. The findings have theoretical implications and provide managerial recommendations for legal practitioners.</p>Lisha YANGYuanfeng CAI

The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of strengthening various types of coaching models in increasing managerial skills, competence, confidence, affiliation, self-efficacy, team cohesiveness, and morality with young athletes. A cross-sectional design was employed, and measures were made on the sample at two different assessment points. The subjects involved 169 young athletes split into groups, the test group and the control group. Quantitative devices were utilized to measure efficiency, confidence, affiliation, self-efficacy, team cohesiveness, and positive and negative morality. Paired samples t-Tests and repeated measures ANOVA were performed using SPSS software for statistical analysis. It revealed maintenance of the levels of athlete’s proficiency, confidence, and self-esteem. During the process, noted changes occurred in affiliation and team cohesiveness where the changes were more pronounced in the experimental group. Morality-related behaviors were the least changed out of all the behaviors. The increase in affiliation and the team cohesion for the experimental group remained significantly higher in the control group. The paper reflects on the effectiveness of specific changes to psychological and behavioral conditions to support improvements in athlete growth and training methods. Coaching models play an important role in increasing affiliation and team spirit among young athletes and at the same assessment preserving stability in proficiency and self-efficacy. It became evident that the intervention had a very small effect, if any, on moral reasoning behaviors.</p>Yu GENG

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AAMR/article/view/275420
<p>Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are of utmost importance in the global economy and aacademic research on leadership has continued to evolve significantly. But in Nigeria, they are challenged in many areas such as management and leadership competencies, profitability, sales growth, competitive advantage, increased market failures, and many other obstacles. This study therefore aims to investigate the effect of leadership competencies on SME profitability, in Lagos state, Nigeria, which is the most densely populated and largest consumer market in Africa. A descriptive survey approach was employed, and the research population consisted of selected small businesses in Lagos, Nigeria. The sample size of 742 was established and the sample was selected using proportionate and stratified sampling approaches. A multistage sampling technique was used for this study because SMEs are scattered across the five geo-political zones of Lagos State. A closed-ended questionnaire was created and administered, 701 responses were collected, resulting in a response rate of 95%. The findings also demonstrated a substantial correlation between management roles and self-efficacy (β = 1.2663, t = 31.2138, p < 0.05). Therefore, small and medium-sized enterprises in Nigeria need to enhance their understanding, establish effective administration, and cultivate leadership skills to enhance their profitability. The study also suggests that the management of SMEs, especially the owners/managers, should enhance their leadership and entrepreneurial skills, driven by the need for achievements.</p>Timilehin O.
