<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> Thailand has currently found itself at a pivotal juncture where the need for vocational workers converges with the ideals of entrepreneurial leadership. At its core, vocational teachers were the architects of this transformative process, imparting practical skills and knowledge to students. This research aimed to study the priority needs of teacher development to enhance entrepreneurial leadership among vocational college teachers. The informants were 416 consisting of vocational college directors, deputy vocational college directors, department heads, and vocational college teachers. Data were collected using a constructed questionaire and were analyzed for frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and priority needs index. The overall results showed that both current state and desirable state were at high level: (i) The first priority needs for vocational college teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership were prediction logics (PNImodified = 0.139) in the process of analyzing goals (PNImodified = 0.131), and economic responsibility and sustainability (PNImodified = 0.141) in the process of analyzing target audience (PNImodified = 0.131). (ii) In the design phase, the first priority needs of teacher entrepreneurial leadership were social responsibility and sustainability (PNImodified = 0.160). (iii) For teacher development methodologies, coaching yielded the highest frequency on-the-job development method, while networking or professional learning community yielded the second highest frequency on off-the-job development method. (iv) In the implementing phase, the first priority needs of teacher entrepreneurial leadership were prediction logics (PNImodified = 0.144). (v) In the evaluating phase, the first priority needs of vocational college teacher entrepreneurial leadership were creation logics in innovation (PNImodified = 0.154) in the process of evaluating the quality of learning resources (PNImodified = 0.143), and economic responsibility and sustainability (PNImodified = 0.151) in the evaluating process of the success of the operation (PNImodified = 0.110).</p> <p><em><strong>Keywords:</strong> Priority needs, teacher development, entrepreneurial leadership, vocational college</em></p>Sukanya Chaemchoy

https://www.ricejournal.net/index.php/rice/article/view/133
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p> This empirical study investigated consumers’ perception of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Bangkok regarding: (i) service quality, (ii) service fairness, (iii) price fairness perception, (iv) promotional offers, (v) technological advancements, and (vi) customer support. The study used a questionnaire to gather quantitative data from a sample of 400 voluntary respondents from three major ISPs (AIS, DTAC, TRUE). The obtained data were analyzed for mean, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages. The results revealed the respondents’ positive perception toward their ISPs, with high ratings for four dimensions: e-service quality, service fairness, price fairness perception, and promotional offers. The other two dimensions--technological advancements and customer support were also rated favorably, though slightly lower. The findings appeared to suggest that maintaining high service quality, transparent pricing, and effective promotional strategies, along with continuous technological advancements and robust customer support, are crucial for enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. These findings should definitely have significant implications for ISPs seeking to improve their competitive edge and customer retention strategies.</p> <p><em><strong>Keywords:</strong> E-service quality, Internet service providers, technological advancements, customer </em><em>satisfaction, customer loyalty</em></p>Chompu NuangjamnongPoonphon SuesaowalukTaminee Shinasharkey

2024-12-152024-12-1553707610.14456/rice.v5i3.121The Market Value of Upcycled Home Decorative Furniture Products from Denim: A Case Study of Hiran Ruchi Subdistrict Community in Bangkok
https://www.ricejournal.net/index.php/rice/article/view/139
<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p> <p> </p> <p> The problem of managing large waste, such as mattresses and sofas, is one of the major challenges in metropolitan areas, especially in Bangkok, where this type of waste is often disposed improperly and negatively impacts the environment. This research focuses on presenting a large-scale waste management approach through the upcycling process. One of the key materials explored in this research is denim, which is difficult to decompose but can be creatively reused. This research had three objectives: (1) To identify the initial problems regarding surplus materials in the community in Hiran Ruchi Subdistrict, Thon Buri District, Bangkok. (2) To develop a prototype of home decorative furniture products from denim through the upcycling process to create market value for the community. (3) To analyze the relationship between home decorative furniture products made from denim, and the upcycling process that creates market value for the community. The researchers collected data from 500 voluntary participants in the Hiran Ruchi community, using a survey questionnaire and a set of interview questions with IOC values greater than 0.6. The interviews with the participants focused on waste material problems in the community and selection of furniture for product development, and with professional experts on product design, production processes, and marketing. The results indicated the positive relationship between home decorative furniture products made from denim and the upcycling process that creates market value for the community. To the participants under study, the upcycling approach to product development not only addresses the identified waste problem but also taps on new markets for upcycled products with environmental sustainability value. It was also expected that upcycled products could help generate income for the community, aligning with the needs and value of modern consumers for environmental conservation and sustainability in product development.</p> <p><em><strong>Keywords</strong>: Market value, upcycling process, home decorative furniture products, denim, Hiran Ruchi </em><br><em> Subdistrict Community in Bangkok</em></p>Catthaleeya RerkpichaiJulalak JarujutaratWachirasak Kainwong
