New Public Service in Accordance with Thai Culture

Abstract

The objective of this article is to study on the 7 provisions of the New Public Service Concepts (NPS) in accordance with the Thai culture. The content of study reveals that the basic concepts of Thai culture are attitude, value, belief, and cartifact. These four concepts could be used as tools to move and develop Thai culture to a become reality. Thai culture could enlighten government officials to take social responsibilities, improve their leader skill, and become good followers. They will be well prepared to accommodate, solve the conflicts, negotiate and dispute settlement. These would help promote and support the New Public Service Concepts which emphasize that the government offices should be “listeners” rather than “commanders” and “service providers” rather than “directors or controller”
