Abstract
This research aims to; 1) study the application of the sufficiency economy philosophy among North Bangkok University students, 2) investigate the development of quality of life among North Bangkok University students, and 3) examine the impact of the sufficiency economy philosophy on the development of quality of life among North Bangkok University students. The sample group consisted of 198 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Political Science, North Bangkok University. Participants were selected using a stratified random sampling technique based on academic year. Simple random sampling, specifically the lottery method, was then employed. A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics such as multiple linear regression.
The study revealed that:
1.North Bangkok University students exhibited a high degree of adherence to the principles of the sufficiency economy.
2.The quality of life of North Bangkok University students was found to be at a moderate level.
3.The application of the sufficiency economy philosophy among North Bangkok University students in terms of moderation (X1), rationality (X2), and self-reliance (X3) can collectively explain 69.00% of the change in the development of students' quality of life in the same direction, with a statistically significant result at the .01 level. This relationship can be expressed as the following equation,
Raw score equation
ŷ= 1.171 + 0.282X1+ 0.154X2+ 0.130X3
Standard score equation
𝑧̂ = 0.469X1+ 0.314X2+ 0.270 X3
