THE FACTOR ANALYSIS AFFECTING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS OF THE THAI COMMERCIAL AVIATION INDUSTRY

Abstract

          The objectives of this article were aims to 1) study components context and environment of aircraft maintenance organization of the Thai Commercial Aviation Industry, 2) study components aircraft maintenance organization management of the Thai Commercial Aviation Industry, 3) study components aircraft maintenance organization resources of the Thai Commercial Aviation Industry, and 4) study components aircraft maintenance organization's resources. Competitiveness of the Aircraft Maintenance Organization of the Thai Commercial Aviation Industry. The Research is quantitative research. The sample groups were Aircraft maintenance operators in Thailand holding 600 aircraft maintenance engineer licenses: AMEL. The tool in this study was expert questionnaire developed by the researcher. 5 - level valuation scale type, with the confidence value of 0.993. The statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation. The data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and orthogonal by verimax method. The results of the research were as follows: 1) Context and environment. The extraction of 6 components the variability of all variables was explained by 70.808 percent, each of which contained 27 variables. 2) Management of the Aircraft Maintenance Organization. The three components were extracted by explaining the variability of all variables 68.067 percent, each containing 29 variables, 3) organizational resources. Aircraft maintenance, the five components were extracted by explaining the variability of all variables 70.193 percent, each of which contained 47 variables and 4) aspects. Competitiveness of the Aircraft Maintenance Organization Two components can be extracted It describes the variance of all variables 68.283 percent, each of which contained 18 variables.
