Abstract

This research aimed to examine the relationships and predictive power of key factors and to propose guidelines for the effective management of provincial farmers' councils in Northern Thailand. The sample consisted of 300 members and personnel from provincial farmers' council offices in the region. The research instrument was a questionnaire with content validity (IOC) ranging from 0.60 to 1.00 and a reliability coefficient of 0.983. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Thirteen experts evaluated the suitability of the proposed guidelines for effective management of provincial farmers' councils in the lower northern region of Thailand.


The research findings revealed that: 1) The overall management of provincial farmers' councils in Northern Thailand, based on quality management criteria, was at a high level across all dimensions. 2) The overall effectiveness of these councils was also found to be at a high level in all aspects. 3) The quality management criteria showed a high to very high positive correlation with effectiveness, which was statistically significant at the .01 level (r = .834–.936). 4) The quality management criteria—comprising operational focus, personnel focus, performance outcomes, focus on service recipients and stakeholders, strategic planning, and measurement, analysis, and knowledge management—collectively predicted 96.20% of the effectiveness. 5) The guidelines for effective management consisted of seven key components: (1) communicating and driving local agricultural policies; (2) integrating provincial-level agricultural development strategies; (3) establishing mechanisms for public hearing, participation, and two-way communication systems; (4) developing information systems and technology for policy decision-making; (5) developing human resources and agricultural networks;  (6) establishing operational standards and performance indicators; and  (7) implementing a system for monitoring and evaluating strategic operations.
