Abstract

In Thailand, the industry of seafood processing is undergoing a big shift to Industry 4.0, and it is experiencing a skills gap. As a result, The objectives of this study examined: 1) the reliability and validity the model of the construct of skilled talent in Thailand's seafood processing industry; and 2) the goodness of fit model  between  the construct of skilled talent in Thailand's seafood processing industry and empirical data. Purposive sampling, a non-probability-based sampling technique, was used to collect data on 360 talented individuals working in Southern Thailand's top seafood processing industry as a sample size. A Likert scale was used to gather data, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze it. The findings of this study showed that construct reliability and construct validity were (0.74-0.91) and (0.57-0.79), respectively. Also, the proposed model was fit with the empirical datac2= 607.96, df= 357, c2/df=1.70, RMSEA=0.044, SRMR=0.043, GFI = 0.90, CFI=0.99 and NFI=0.97. Factor loading was at 0.05 statistic significant level. Practically, all the stakeholders in the seafood processing industry might make use of the findings (i.e., government sector, private non-profit organizations, and industry sectors). The stakeholders should define the skilled talent to deploy with skilled employee development in this sector.  Accordingly, developing talent links to skills can face competitive advantage to be fit and compatible with national development policies and can reduce skill mismatches.
