Abstract

This study investigated factors affecting the work performance efficiency of personnel in the Chanthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO). Specifically, the study aimed to examine the level of factors influencing work performance efficiency, assess employees’ work performance efficiency, explore the relationships between these factors and work performance efficiency, and identify the factors that significantly predict employees’ performance. A questionnaire survey was administered to 142 employees selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The findings revealed that both human resource management factors and employee performance were perceived at high levels. A significant positive relationship was found between human resource management factors and employee performance (r = .763, p < .01). Work motivation, training and personnel development, and performance appraisal emerged as significant predictors, jointly explaining 66.82% of the variance in work performance (Adjusted R² = .668). Among these factors, work motivation was the strongest predictor (β = .540). The findings highlight the critical role of motivational practices, employee development initiatives, and performance management systems in enhancing workforce effectiveness in local government organizations. The study provides practical implications for public-sector human resource management and contributes to understanding the determinants of work performance efficiency in provincial administrative organizations.
