miss A Study of Organizational Efficiency for Sustainable Management via STAR STEMS Intellectual Innovation Frame workTitle

Abstract

This article aims to: 1) study and analyze the level of organizational efficiency in sustainability management through the STAR STEMS intellectual innovation tool; 2) evaluate the outcomes of applying STAR STEMS to develop personnel potential and organizational management; and 3) propose guidelines for developing organizations toward sustainability in alignment with international standards and the Thai socio-geographical context. This study employed a mixed-methods research approach. The sample consisted of personnel from the Human Resources Department and the Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department of 44 industrial factories, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments comprised questionnaires and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics, including correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that the overall level of organizational efficiency in sustainability management was high (x̄)= 4.21, S.D. = 0.58). The dimension with the highest mean score was innovation and adaptability, followed by social and environmental responsibility and management, respectively. Furthermore, STAR STEMS significantly predicted organizational efficiency in sustainability management at the .01 significance level, explaining 68.40% of the variance in organizational efficiency (SR2 = 0.684, p < .01). The components of scientific thinking and responsibility had the greatest influence on organizational efficiency. The development guidelines should focus on enhancing human capital through STAR STEMS, together with promoting an ESG-oriented organizational culture and learning innovation through the Situation-Based Learning (SBL) process.
