Abstract

This studey aimed to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis of psychological well-being among civil servants in the Ministry of Finance. This quantitative research utilized a sample of 150 civil servants working in the Bangkok area, who were selected from a total population of 12,268 through simple and convenience sampling methods. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure psychological well-being among Ministry of Finance civil servants. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the JAMOVI program.


The results indicated that the measurement model of psychological well-being among Ministry of Finance civil servants demonstrated a good fit with the empirical data, as evidenced by the following fit indices: chi-square ( ) = 339, p = .058, df = 356, relative chi-square ( /df) = 1.12, RMSEA = .028, TLI = .977, CFI = .984, and SRMR = .073. Psychological well-being among Ministry of Finance civil servants comprised six components: self-acceptance (.813), positive relations with others (.583), personal growth (.997), purpose in life (.932), environmental mastery (.827), and autonomy (.522). Additionally, among the six components, personal growth emerged as the variable with the highest factor loading (.997). This finding sugguests that recognizing one’s potential and maintaining a continuous openness to new experiences for self-development constituted the most important core dimension in explaining the psychological well-being of civil servants within this context.
