This sense of happiness is directly linked to positive employee attitudes, which in turn fosters organizational loyalty. This study aims to: 1) Examine the personal factors, work happiness, and organizational loyalty of employees in food and beverage manufacturing organizations; 2) Investigate the personal factors that affect organizational loyalty in food and beverage manufacturing organizations; and 3) Explore how work happiness influences organizational loyalty in food and beverage manufacturing organizations.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This study employed a quantitative research approach. The sample consisted of 400 employees working in food and beverage manufacturing organizations. The statistical methods used for data analysis included descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics including t-test, F-test, and multiple regression analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 1) The majority of the respondents were female, with most falling within the age range of 26–35 years. Their average monthly income ranged between 20,001 and 30,000 baht, and most had been working for a period of 1 to 4 years. 2) Personal factors such as gender, age, and length of service did not significantly affect their happiness in life. However, differences in monthly income had a statistically significant effect on organizational loyalty in food and beverage manufacturing organizations at the 0.05 level. 3) Work happiness, particularly in five out of eight aspects, significantly influenced employee loyalty. The aspect of “Inner Peace” had the greatest overall impact on loyalty to food and beverage manufacturing organizations, while the aspect of “social well-being” had the least impact, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Most employees in the food and beverage manufacturing organization report a high level of job satisfaction, particularly in terms of inner peace, which greatly influences their loyalty to the organization. Meanwhile, variations in monthly income have a noticeable effect on the degree of loyalty. Therefore, the organization should promote both mental well-being and a positive work environment to cultivate sustainable commitment to cultivate sustainable commitment, thereby reducing employee turnover and enhancing competitive advantage in the industry.</p> 2025-11-04T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal for Developing the Social and Community https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rdirmu/article/view/294588 THE CORPORATE IMAGE THAT AFFECTS TRUST OF RELATIVES OF PRISONERS PRISONS IN THAILAND 2025-10-15T13:38:55+07:00 Anyamanee Wattananusit anyamanee.wat@gmail.com Yupaporn Chaisena yupaporn.chaise@gmail.com <p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Studying the corporate image of Thailand's prisons is crucial for representing the viewpoints of convicts' families, who expect transparent services, high standards of practice, and organizational justice. This paper intends to 1) investigate <br />the level of perception regarding the corporate image of Thai prisons, and 2) test the impact of corporate image on the trust of families of Thai prisoners .</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This is a quantitative study that uses Leblanc and Nguyen (1996) theoretical framework as a research framework. Data were collected from convicts' relatives in 143 Thai jails. The population's actual size was unknown. Taro Yamane (1976) table was used to determine the sample with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error. An online questionnaire was used to gather data from 251 respondents, with a response rate of 62.75%. Data were evaluated using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Relatives of Thai prison inmates rated the corporate image of the corporate image of Thai prisons ( = 4.29). All aspects were found to be rated at a high level. In order of average value from highest to lowest, the top three aspects were corporative identity ( = 4.34), followed by service offering ( = 4.32) and Contact Personnel ( = 4.28). 2) Corporate image, corporative identity, contact personnel, reputation (p &lt; 0.01), and physical environment (p &lt; 0.05) all strongly predicted the trust of families of Thai detainees by 66.6 percent (R² = 0.666).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Relatives of convicts expressed positive thoughts about the image of Thai prisons in terms of corporate identity, service offerings, and contact personnel. Corporate image, which includes corporative identity, contact personnel, reputation, and physical environment, predicted 66.6 percent of the trust of convicts' family. Although the service aspect did not have a statistically significant effect, while having a high average value, this finding suggests that in the prison context, service is viewed as a basic organizational responsibility rather than a factor that fosters trust among inmates' families. This suggests that the moral image, transparency, and fairness of government entities are more essential factors influencing stakeholder trust than the overall quality of service.</p> 2025-11-23T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal for Developing the Social and Community https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rdirmu/article/view/292174 The development of livelihoods and career promotion for the quality of life of the elderly in new normal era in Roi Et, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham, and Kalasin provinces 2025-11-10T08:46:31+07:00 Natapasa Dechanubeksa phimonwan_d@hotmail.com Kunteera Arsasri Kunteera.ar@rmu.ac.th Papapit Srisawangwong papapit2559@gmail.com Parinya Thongkam parinyathongkam@gmail.com <p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Given Thailand's inevitable transition into a fully aged society, it is crucial to holistically enhance quality of life among older adults to support sustainable national development.

While the Act was enacted to prevent technological misuse, the wording of Section 14 remains ambiguous and lacks sufficient legal precision. Terms such as “false information” and “fake information” are undefined, and broad expressions like “causing public panic” or “harming national security” invite arbitrary interpretation and overbroad application. Such ambiguity undermines the rule of law, the principle of legal certainty, and the protection of fundamental rights.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> This article seeks to examine the substantive scope of offenses under Section 14 (1), (2), and (3) of the Computer Crime Act B.E. 2550 (2007) and to propose legislative reforms that align Thai law with contemporary legal principles emphasizing proportionality, fairness, and clarity.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The study adopts a documentary research method, drawing upon the Computer Crime Act B.E. 2550 (2007) and its amendments, relevant Constitutional Court judgments, legal commentaries, academic works, and comparative analyses with international legal standards. The findings are synthesized to develop policy and legislative recommendations for addressing the current ambiguities in the law.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The research reveals that Thai criminal law retains characteristics of centralized interpretive authority and imposes uniform penalties without distinguishing between levels of harm or intent. This approach impedes the realization of justice within the criminal process and creates potential for misuse of Section 14 against individuals expressing political dissent.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> It is recommended that Section 14, particularly subsections (1), (2), and (3), be amended to include precise definitions within Section 3 of the Computer Crime Act, differentiate penalties based on the gravity of the offense, and clarify the elements of intent and consequence. Such revisions would strengthen legal certainty, safeguard civil liberties, and promote more equitable and effective law enforcement.</p> 2025-12-04T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal for Developing the Social and Community https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rdirmu/article/view/294719 The Impact of Digital Accounting Professional Intelligence on the Performance Efficiency and Successful in Performing Work of Accountants in Thailand 2025-10-18T20:24:18+07:00 jitsupang kaewkham jitsupang2531@gmail.com Supattra Sorathiwa supattraphuanghoi@gmail.com Phattharapron Pharanak Phattharapron.ph@ksu.ac.th Chatratchada Wiroterat Chatratchada2@gmail.com <p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Digital technology plays a significant role in the work of accountants today.
