Factors Affecting the Morale on Work Performance of Government Teachers in Samutprakan Primary Educational Service Area Office 2

Abstract

            This research aimed to investigate teachers’ goodwill and factors affecting their goodwill. The subjects were 350 teachers under the supervision of Samut Prakan Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 in the academic year 2021, obtained through stratified random sampling which was conducted according to the number of population in each district. The instrument was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation,

t-test, F-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

            The result revealed that: 1) Teachers’ goodwill was high. The highest mean was displayed by sense of responsibility, followed by sense of security, sense of belonging, and job satisfaction, respectively. 2) Teachers’ goodwill varied according to demographic factors including gender, age, and size of the school with a significance level of .05. 3) In terms of factors affecting teachers’ goodwill, job freedom (X₁) mostly affected teachers’ goodwill, followed by work environments (X₂), and the role of school administrators (X₃). These three factors could explain 85% of the variability with a forecasting error of ±.23. The regression could be calculated through the equation,

             = -.15 + .50(X₁) + .34(X₂) + .17(X₃)
