THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP MODEL OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ RESEARCH SUCCESS IN THE SOUTHERN BORDER PROVINCES OF THAILAND

Abstract

Study subject The causal relationship model of research success of primary school teachers in the southern border provinces The objective was to develop a causal relationship model for research success among primary school teachers in the southern border provinces. It is quantitative research. By analyzing the structural equation model, The sample consisted of 400 primary school teachers in the southern border provinces, the academic year 2021, by multistage randomization. The questionnaire was used with content accuracy between .98 and 1.00, and the confidence factor was between .922 and .966. The results of developing a causal relationship model for research success among primary school teachers in the southern border provinces were found. that the model was consistent with the empirical data ( = 417.316, p – value < .001, df = 158, = 2.641, RMSEA = 0.065, CFI = 0.963, TLI = 0.955 and RMR = 0.015). external motivation, intrinsic motivation, and research competency positively affect research success. Able to explain 73.80 percent of the variation in research success. Intrinsic motivation positively affects research competency 49.50% variation in research competency could be explained. Positively affects intrinsic motivation Able to explain the variation of intrinsic motivation by 24.60%. intrinsic motivation and research competence direct influence on research success external motivation intrinsic motivation direct influence on research competence and external motivation direct influence on intrinsic motivation.
