Abstract
The objective of this research is to analyze the performance indicators of faculty members at the National University of Laos. The sample group in this study consists of 675 administrators, lecturers, and students, selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument is a 5-point rating scale questionnaire with 40 items, having a reliability coefficient of 0.973 for the entire questionnaire. The questionnaire data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).The results of the competency indicator analysis for professors at the National University of Laos showed that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy was 0.975, which is greater than 0.500 and close to 1.000 Using Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, the Chi-Square value was 18097.126, which was significant at the 0.000 level. This means that all 40 variables or indicators were correlated and suitable for further factor analysis. When all 40 indicators were factor analyzed, 4 components were extracted: The first component, "Competency in commitment to being a highly effective instructor," consisted of 22 indicators with factor loadings ranging from 0.470 to 0.697. The second component, "Competency in commitment to preserving Lao social traditions sustainably," had 8 indicators with factor loadings ranging from 0.513 to 0.759. The third component, "Competency in good teaching skills," comprised 5 indicators with factor loadings ranging from 0.452 to 0.723. The fourth component, "Competency in academics and research," included 5 indicators with factor loadings ranging from 0.472 to 0.556.
