Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to construct the causal relationship model of factors affecting upgrading efficiency of village and urban community funds management to Level A member’ s point of view 2) examining the goodness of fit model with the empirical data. And 3) to analyze effect size of the causal relationship model of factors affecting upgrading the efficiency of village and urban community funds management to level A. The samples were selected by Taro Yamane method which consisted of 400 members of village and urban community funds (level A). The instrument for data collection was a set of five-rating scale questionnaire, including Index of Item – Objective Congruence between 0.60 - 1.00, Index of Item – Total Correlation between 0.24 - 0.80 and reliability coefficient 0.91. The data collected were analyzed by package program and the LISREL programs version 8.80 for student was to analyze the data causal relationship model.
The research results indicated that: (1) The construct of the causal relationship model of factors affecting upgrading the efficiency of village and urban community funds management to level A consisted of 7 observed variables. (2) The causal relationship model of factors affecting upgrading the efficiency of village and urban community funds management to level A was well fitted with the empirical data. The final model developed showed that the fitness between the data and model indices were as follows: (c2/df) = 0.61, p-Value = 0.60, RMSEA = 0.00, GFI = 1.00, AGFI = 0.99, CFI = 1.00. All the factors in the model explain 87%. And (3) the most important factors had direct affected to upgrading the efficiency of village and urban community funds management to Level A were as follows: rule of fund (P = 0.42, R2 = 0.44) followed by process management (P = 0.26, R2 = 0.63) respectively.
The results of this study revealed that village and urban community funds level B, C and D should consider to upgrading the efficiency of village and urban community funds management to Level A
