Analysis on Structural Equation Models for Public Administration Researches

Abstract

The development in public administration is very important in the present era. Thailand in the transitional era has tried to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector especially in the issues of public services and good bureaucratic system covering the quality of government officials, independence level from political pressure including the quality of policy formulation and the policy implementation as well as the credibility of government organizations to follow the policies set forth by the country in accordance with the plan of Thai government's development strategy as the continual result from the fiscal year of 2012 onwards. In addition, as there is the evaluation system of the new government with the emphasis on the integrated results in the effectiveness dimension or the Government Evaluating System altogether, the 5 concepts of quality management in the public sector then cover the quality organizations which are efficient, effective, and increase the competitiveness of the country more. In elevating personnel capacity and efficiency of public administration to have quality standards equaling to international and to strengthen the personnel in the government, the management focuses on making the organization achieve high performance in order to make the personnel available to learn, innovate, change and adapt to situations which are challenged and various properly. There is the need to accelerate encouraging the government agencies to conduct the study and research to apply the research results. The departmental level agencies can improve the quality of management to be effective and strengthen the competitiveness of the country. Based on the importance of the research as mentioned above, it stimulates relevant agencies to find the ways and means to be used in the administration and management of government affairs. Therefore, researches are important. The public agencies conduct the researches and studies to apply the results to the planning and implementation in their agencies. The author will discuss this in the research methodology which can be applied to researches in public administration for the maximum benefits. The results will be beneficial to the overall development of the country leading to peaceful society in consistent with the country development. The 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan enacted from 2016 onwards will continually benefit the beneficiaries; people in the country. This article discusses the quantitative research explaining the writing and how to use advanced statistics in finding the level of structural equation modeling. They are known as "SEM". Those who are interested in creating the structural equation model have to realize the importance and details of structural equation modeling in order to create the researches which are complete and can be used further.
