Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of intellectual capital and its constituent elements on the sustainable trajectory of Thailand's thrift and credit cooperatives. The dataset comprises 590 directors associated with thrift and credit cooperatives nationwide, carefully selected for the analysis. Methodologically, the study relies on multiple regression analysis to systematically examine the hypothesized relationships. The findings unequivocally demonstrate a positive influence from intellectual capital and its tripartite components on the enduring growth paradigm within Thailand's thrift and credit cooperatives sector.
