By employing a comparative legal approach, this study proposes solutions to these legal issues in order to elevate the quality and efficiency of primary public health service provision. The findings reveal two key interconnected legal issues: first, the inequality regarding legal status and personnel administration; and second, the legal impediments in budgetary management that fail to align with public health missions. Based on a comparative analysis of two developed nations-namely, the United Kingdom and France - the author proposes resolving these issues by amending the Ministry of Interior Regulation on Local Government Organization Budgeting, B.E. 2563 (2020), establishing a specific public health professional position registry within PAOs, and developing a localized budget allocation formula tailored to the distinct needs of each area.</p> Pitthayut Boontham Copyright (c) 2026 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 1 20 Enhancing the Efficiency of Document Storage and Retrieval for Local Administrative Organizations Through an Online Electronic System https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305689 <p>This academic article aims to analyze approaches to improving the efficiency of document storage and retrieval in local administrative organizations using online electronic systems. It employs academic literature and conceptual analysis within the framework of New Public Management (NPM).</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The study reveals that electronic correspondence systems significantly reduce retrieval time, lower paper-related costs, and improve administrative accuracy and transparency. However, the implementation of these systems is hindered by constraints such as personnel readiness, budgetary limitations, and digital infrastructure. Consequently, the article proposes systemic development guidelines to elevate the efficiency of document management in local administrations, ensuring long-term sustainability.</p> Sunisa Inta Suphunna Darunikon Sathienphong Khunnasut Phitsanu Boonniyom Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 21 33 Constitutional Amendment: A Comparative Study between the Czech Republic and Thailand https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305691 <p>This article aims to examine and compare the models, procedures, and limitations of constitutional amendment, including the power dynamics of the Constitutional Courts, in order to synthesize policy and practical recommendations for Thailand. Utilizing documentary research methodology, this study analyzes 16 academic and legal documents from 1997 to the present. The analysis applies comparative legal research methods in conjunction with legal positivism and deductive legal reasoning. The findings reveal that: (1) The Czech Republic’s model possesses the advantage of protecting the material core of the Constitution through the eternity clauses of Article 9, with its Constitutional Court acting as a substantive guardian in the Melčák case; however, it lacks public participation via referendum. (2) Thailand’s model under the 2017 Constitution safeguards the state form under Section 255, yet suffers from excessive formal rigidity under Section 256. Furthermore, the Thai Constitutional Court’s interpretations in Decisions No. 4/2564 and 18/2568 have created complex constraints requiring up to three referendums, leading to a constitutional deadlock. (3) The comparative analysis reflects a fundamental divergence between the Czech court (material guardian) and the Thai court (formal guardian). Consequently, this study proposes policy recommendations to amend Section 256 to reduce procedural requirements, and practical recommendations to clearly define and render predictable the scope of the Constitutional Court's review power.</p> Kamol Tanchinwuttanakul Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 34 44 Editorial https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305882 <p>-</p> naruemol Pechrasuwan Copyright (c) 2026 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 Editorial department https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305883 <p>-</p> Narumol Pechrasuwan Copyright (c) 2026 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 List of experts who considered the article https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305885 <p>-</p> Narumol Pechrasuwan Copyright (c) 2026 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 contents https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305886 <p>-</p> Narumol Pechrasuwan Copyright (c) 2026 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 Development Guidelines for Creative Tourism Activities Based on the Cultural Capitals of Tai Saek Ethnic Communities https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305694 <p>This research objectives were 1) examine the cultural capital-based context of the Tai Saek ethnic community, 2) develop creative tourism activities, and 3) propose guidelines for the development of creative tourism activities based on the cultural capital of the Tai Saek ethnic community. An Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods Design was employed. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants and focus group discussions involving ten stakeholders. Quantitative data were collected from 400 tourists. The research instruments consisted of interview guides, focus group discussion guides, and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using content analysis, frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The findings revealed that the Tai Saek community in At Samat Village, Nakhon Phanom Province, possesses distinctive cultural capital, including the Ong Mu ritual, the Tai Saek New Year Festival (Trut Saek), the Tai Saek language, bamboo dance performances, local cuisine, and Mekong riverside lifestyles. These cultural assets demonstrate strong potential for creative tourism development. Tourists showed a high level of interest in local food, ethnic cultural experiences, and community traditions. The creative tourism activities developed through this study consisted of three key activities: Tai Saek bamboo dance workshops, Tai Saek local food preparation activities, and Tai Saek language learning activities. In addition, a creative tourism route was designed by integrating the community’s cultural resources and heritage attractions. The study further proposed three major development guidelines: (1) the development of participatory workshop-based activities, (2) the development of creative tourism routes that systematically connect cultural assets and learning experiences, and (3) the enhancement of community-based tourism management through capacity building, cultural interpretation, marketing communication, and tourism facilities. The findings indicate that community participation and hands-on learning experiences are essential factors in fostering sustainable creative tourism development while generating economic, social, and cultural value for the community.</p> Chirabhorn Phromthep Apithai Kaewjarus Boontham Khakhanmanee Atchariya Thumpanit Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 45 63 Transformation Leadership Affecting to the Personnel Management of School Administrators under Chachoengsao Primary Educational Service Area 2 https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/305739 <p>The purposes of this research were to 1) examine the level of transformational leadership of school administrators, 2) examine the level of personnel management of school administrators, and 3) investigate the transformational leadership factors affecting personnel management among school administrators under the Chachoengsao Primary Educational Service Area Office 2.

The findings revealed that camping content on TikTok predominantly combined inspirational content (C2) and educational content (C3), communicating place and atmosphere (M3) and personal experience (M4) through informal language (L2). Common strategies across all channels included designing messages to communicate within the first 3-5 seconds, emotional communication, and using authentic experience as a storytelling foundation. Notable differences were found between creator channels, which emphasized personal identity, and business channels, which focused on service information. The findings suggest that camping content creators should design concise messages that communicate effectively within the opening seconds of a clip, while maintaining continuous audience interaction, in order to enhance marketing communication effectiveness on the TikTok platform.</p> พิมพ์นภัส บัวหลวง Teerati Banterng Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 130 152 Crisis Communication Strategy for the water is not running of Provincial Waterworks Authority, Region 4 https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/297897 <p>The purposes of this research were 1) examine the crisis management process for water supply disruptions, 2) explore the crisis communication strategies used, and 3) develop a crisis communication management model for PWA Region 4. The study utilized documentary analysis of 32 posts from the official Facebook fan page of the Surat Thani branch of PWA Region 4, covering the pre-crisis, crisis, and post-crisis phases. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 key informants, including public relations practitioners, local residents, and crisis communication experts.</p> <p>The findings show that in the pre-crisis phase, PWA Region 4 implemented systematic planning and advanced communication using standardized messages that included specific dates, times, affected areas, and water storage recommendations. During the crisis phase, the organization prioritized urgent, accurate communication, primarily utilizing social media, particularly Facebook, as the main channel for disseminating information and responding to public inquiries. In the post-crisis phase, the organization promptly communicated the resolution of the situation and conducted internal reviews, including revisions to their business continuity plan. However, the analysis of in-depth interviews revealed that post-crisis communication lessons were mainly discussed internally and not systematically shared with the public. Furthermore, the content analysis and interview results suggest a need for a more transparent and structured communication process post-crisis. This would enhance public trust and ensure continuous improvement. This study proposes a crisis communication management model based on these findings, which can serve as a practical guide for improving communication strategies in future crises.</p> Thanathan poolsuan Taksaya Watcharasarnsap Natchuda Wijitjammaree Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 153 168 Quality of Work Life and Internal Organizational Communication Influencing Employee Organizational Commitment in a Company in the Fast-moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Industry in Bangkok https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/298107 <p>This study aimed to 1) study the level of quality of work life of employees of a company in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry in Bangkok, 2) study the level of internal communication of employees, 3) study the level of organizational commitment of employees, 4) study the influence of quality of work life on organizational commitment of employees of a company in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry in Bangkok, and 5) study the influence of internal communication on organizational commitment of employees of a company in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry in Bangkok.

Data were collected from 579 convenience store customers in Bangkok using a non-probability sampling approach combining purposive and accidental sampling techniques, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).</p> <p>The findings reveal that service communication has a significant direct positive effect on both customer satisfaction and customer engagement, and an indirect positive effect on customer loyalty through both mediating variables. Customer satisfaction positively influences customer engagement, which in turn has the strongest direct positive effect on customer loyalty in the model. Regarding the moderating role, employee sincerity has a direct positive effect on both satisfaction and loyalty. However, a negative interaction effect is observed: when employees express high levels of sincerity, the effect of service communication on customer satisfaction decreases. This may be because excessive displays of sincerity in a convenience store context where customers prioritize speed can create inflated expectations or feel unnatural. The model demonstrates a good fit with the empirical data, explaining 83.3% of the variance in satisfaction, 75.3% in engagement, and 86.0% in customer loyalty, highlighting the critical role of customer engagement as the primary mediating variable. These findings provide practical guidelines for developing communication skills and fostering customer engagement to effectively retain customers in the retail business.</p> Prasittachai Dechkham Supakasri Srikongkaew Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 368 385 Factors Associated with the Risk of Dementia among Young-Old Adults in Nong Khai Municipality, Nong Khai Province https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/301023 <p>This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to: 1) assess the risk of dementia among young-old adult in Nong Khai Municipality; 2) explain the fundamental factors of personal and health behaviors, biological factors, psychological factors, and social factors.; and 3) analyze the relationships between fundamental factors of personal and health behaviors, biological factors, psychological factors, and social factors and the risk of dementia among young-old adult in Nong Khai Municipality, utilizing the biopsychosocial model as the conceptual framework.</p> <p>The sample group consisted of young-old adult individuals aged 60-69 years residing in Nong Khai Municipality.

However, the coconut production system is currently facing several sustainability challenges, including declining yields, aging coconut trees, increasing risks from climate change, and structural limitations in the market. Although sustainability frameworks have been increasingly adopted within agricultural supply chains, there is still a lack of empirical evidence confirming whether the proposed sustainability dimensions can adequately explain the context of coconut farming in Thailand. This study aims to validate the structure of sustainability dimensions in coconut farming in Thailand under the Sustainable Coconut Charter framework. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to test both first-order and second-order measurement models. The research adopted a cross-sectional quantitative approach, with a sample of 47 key stakeholders involved in the coconut supply chain from Surat Thani, Prachuap Khiri Khan, and Chumphon provinces.</p> <p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">The findings indicate that the model demonstrates a good fit with the empirical data and supports a multidimensional structure of sustainability consisting of three dimensions: economic, social, and environmental. All nine indicators—productivity monitoring, income diversification, price transparency, occupational health and safety, labor rights protection, farmer representation, climate resilience practices, biodiversity conservation, and soil management—significantly reflect their respective latent constructs. Among these, the environmental dimension shows the strongest influence on overall sustainability, followed by the social and economic dimensions. This result reflects the hierarchical nature of sustainability within the context of smallholder coconut farming in Thailand.</p> Arongkot Khosshasarn Wutthichai Limarunothai Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rajapruk University 2026-08-29 2026-08-29 12 2 441 461 The Outcomes of Guardian Smoke Out Online Game on Perceived Susceptibility and Perceived Severity of E-Cigarettes among Junior High School Students https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/rpu/article/view/302656 <p>This research aimed to study the effect of the online game Guardian Smoke Out on the perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of e-cigarettes among junior high school students.
