Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) on data from 680 professionals in large publicly listed Thai corporations, the research examines the interrelationships among leadership, organizational policy, employee engagement, and innovation/technology. The findings indicate that employee capabilities and innovation strongly predict both growth and sustainability. Organizational policies significantly influence growth, while leadership has a stronger effect on sustainability. These results suggest that aligning internal strategies with innovation and inclusive leadership is vital for competitiveness and resilience. The integrated framework emphasizes the central roles of employee empowerment, collaborative teams, and strategic leadership. While contextualized to the Thai setting, the results provide valuable insights for corporate managers and policymakers globally seeking to promote sustainable organizational development in a rapidly changing environment. The limitations of the study, such as its cross-sectional design and focus on Thai firms, are also acknowledged, paving the way for future research.</p> Waewpailin PHANPHAKDI Copyright (c) 2025 Authors http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2025-08-03 2025-08-03 9 2 1 1 10.14456/apsr.2025.8 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT IN THAILAND'S PUBLIC SECTOR: SUCCESS FACTORS FOR NATIONAL STRATEGY 2018-2037 https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/APSR/article/view/280933 <p>This research investigates the critical success factors for public sector organizations in driving Thailand's National Strategy 2018-2037. Through document analysis, interviews, and observations, the study identifies key challenges, including inconsistencies between policy and strategy. Findings reveal that effective leadership, adaptable organizational structures, proactive change agents, and supportive organizational cultures are crucial. The study also suggests a shift from top-down planning to participatory governance, emphasizing the role of public servants as change agents. The implications extend to public sector reforms in Thailand and other Asian nations pursuing ambitious development goals. This paper argues for strategic alignment of organizational culture, leadership, structure, and change management to realize national objectives. Recommendations emphasize visionary leadership, flexible organizational designs, engaged change agents, and collaborative organizational cultures, all aimed at enhancing public sector effectiveness. These insights inform policymakers and public managers seeking to bridge the strategy-implementation gap in the public sector.</p> Noppadol Udomwisawakul Copyright (c) 2025 Noppadol UDOMWISAWAKUL http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2025-10-27 2025-10-27 9 2 2 2 10.14456/apsr.2025.9
