This research employed quantitative research. A proportional stratified random sampling method was used, with a sample group consisting of 400 village health volunteers from Nakhon Pathom Province. The sample size was determined using the criterion of 20 times the number of observed variables, employing stratified proportionate sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling.
The research findings reveal that the perceived work environment had the greatest overall influence on the proactive operational competencies of village health volunteers, followed by organizational culture, personal characteristics, and work motivation, respectively. When considering direct influences, the perceived work environment had the greatest effect on the proactive operational competencies of village health volunteers, followed by work motivation, personal characteristics, and organizational culture, respectively. The findings of this research can be utilized by government agencies to develop policies and public health programs that align with efforts to enhance the proactive work performance of village health volunteers. Additionally, the results can be used to design training curricula aimed at developing proactive work competencies for Village Health Volunteers, ensuring they are up-to-date and relevant to current situations.
