Additionally, 71.20% of these companies achieve rankings in the excellent, very good, and good levels of corporate governance. On average, these companies obtain a corporate social responsibility score of 0.56 out of a possible 1. Based on the results of the multiple regression analysis, it is found that 1) listed companies with a higher proportion of female representation on their board of directors have better corporate social responsibility performance. 2) There is no effect of corporate governance on the relationship between the gender of boards of directors and social responsibility operations. 3) There is a positive effect of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility performance.</strong></p> Phatteera Phengphit Naruanard Sarapaivanich Duraya Sukthomya Copyright (c) 2023 คณะบริหารธุรกิจ มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีมหานคร https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-01-11 2024-01-11 20 2 Factors Influencing Intention to Use the Inter-City Route Ticketing System (Bor Kor Sor Card) of Transport Co., Ltd.: An Integration of Technology Acceptance Model and Innovation Diffusion Perspective https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269540 <p>The purpose of this research article is to investigate the factors influencing the intention to use the intercity bus card system (Bor Kor Sor Card) by passengers traveling on intercity bus routes in Thailand. This study utilized a survey conducted with service users of intercity bus routes in four main areas: Bangkok Bus Terminal, Northern Bus Terminal, Eastern Northeastern Bus Terminal, and Southern Bus Terminal, with a total of 616 responses. The survey questionnaire was developed based on a research framework within the context of technology acceptance and innovation diffusion theory. A literature review related to the use of smart card systems in both the direct and indirect transport sectors was conducted to gain a better understanding of passenger behavior in the current era.</p> <p>Statistical analysis through multiple stepwise regression revealed that the technology of booking and paying for bus fares through mobile application platforms, in the form of the BKS Card, significantly influenced social factors, environmental factors that support technology usage, and perceived financial risk factors. These factors, in contrast, did not significantly impact the intention to use technology. However, factors related to attitudes toward technology experimentation, observed outcomes, perceived benefits, and perceived ease of use had a considerable influence on passengers' intention to accept and promote the dissemination of this technology system.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Suvaporn Phasuk Chayawee Angsusingha Davids Makararpong Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 1 21 The Influence of Innovative Leadership on the Competitive Ability of Startup Businesses in Nonthaburi Province https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269543 <p>This research aimed to 1) investigate the influence of innovative leadership on the competitive capabilities of startup businesses, and 2) develop guidelines for enhancing the impact of innovative leadership on the competitive abilities of startup businesses in Nonthaburi Province. The research population was divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 250 startup business owners in Nonthaburi Province, while the second group comprised three groups of experts, 15 individuals in total. The research employed two research instruments: questionnaires and interviews, using an assessment questionnaire. Data analysis employed statistical techniques, including structural equation modelling, percentages, standard deviations, and content analysis.</p> <p>The research findings revealed that 1) the analysis of the linear structural equation model on the influence of innovative leadership on the competitive capabilities of startup businesses in Nonthaburi Province indicated a good fit with the data, as evidenced by (1) the Chi-square Probability Level (CMIN-p) of 69.249, (2) the Relative Chi-square (CMIN/df) of 1.332, (3) the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) of .969, and (4) the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) of .036. It was found that factors contributing to innovative leadership, including variables related to vision creation, change promotion, vision dissemination, and exemplary leadership, played a significant role. Direct causal factors influencing competitiveness included variables related to innovation, marketing, and quality, with cumulative effects in the same direction. 2) This study has developed four pathways for enhancing the impact of innovative leadership on the competitive abilities of startup businesses in Nonthaburi Province as follows: Pathway 1: Factors related to innovative leadership, Pathway 2: Factors related to the organizational innovation environment, Pathway 3: Factors related to teamwork and participation, and Pathway 4: Factors related to ethical considerations.</p> Piangduan Kerdumpang Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 22 42 EFFECTS OF AUDIT PROFESSIONAL SKEPTICISM ON AUDIT EFFICIENCY AND AUDIT SUCCESS https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269544 <p>This study aimed to examine the impact of audit professional skepticism on the success of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Thailand through the mediating effects of audit efficiency and computer-assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATs), and the moderating effect of audit professional skepticism on audit efficiency. A total of 610 CPAs were chosen as the sample, and the data were collected. The results of the path coefficients and hypothesis testing showed that audit professional skepticism played a positive significant role in determining and driving audit efficiency. Audit efficiency also positively affected audit success; thus, audit professional skepticism indirectly impacted audit success. Additionally, audit efficiency was a mediator of audit professional skepticism<strong>–</strong>success relationships in this study. However, computer-assisted audit tools and techniques were moderators, and the coefficient of interaction between audit professional skepticism and computer-assisted audit tools and techniques had a positive significant effect on audit efficiency.</p> Kanthana Ditkaew Thared Santatiwongchai Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 43 66 Deployment of Business Model Innovation and Digital Capability to Enhance Business Opportunities for Elderly Informal Workers in Ang Thong Province https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269545 <p>The aims of this research were to: (1) study the elements of business model innovation and digital capability in order to improve business opportunities for elderly informal workers in Ang Thong province, (2) analyze the effects of business model innovation and digital capability on the expansion of business opportunities of elderly informal workers in Ang Thong province, and (3) evaluate the model’s congruence with the empirical data. This research implemented a quantitative research methodology using the questionnaire as a research instrument and collecting data from elderly informal workers, who participated in the community enterprise groups in Ang Thong province. A total of 360 samples were incorporated in the research. The data collection was conducted using a purposive sampling technique. The acquired data were subsequently analyzed using statistical structural models to examine the findings.</p> <p>The findings of the study indicated that the model aligned with the observed data, as revealed by the statistical values of CMIN/df = 4.16, CFI = 0.96, NFI = 0.95, RFI = 0.93, TLI = 0.95, and RMSEA = 0.09. The digital capability had a significant impact on the business model innovation and competitiveness. The key components of business model innovation and digital capability were the ability to identify new opportunities digitally and the development of strong relationships with business partners, respectively. To create a business model appropriate for elderly informal workers in Ang Thong province, it is necessary to focus on fostering positive relationships with business partners, developing new methods for generating business income, and fostering positive relationships with client, etc.</p> <p>Therefore, elderly informal workers who participate in community enterprise groups in Ang Thong province should pay close attention to the digital capability development because it is a factor that contributes to the essentials of business model innovation and can lead to improved competitiveness. This will enhance the business opportunities for the informal working group in Ang Thong province, leading to stability and sustainability in operation.</p> Sudarat Kliangsa-Art Chanchai Meathawiroon Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 67 87 A Causal Correlation Model of the Artificial Intelligence Acceptance towards Marketing Performance of Thai Airlines https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269546 <p>This research has been approved for the human ethics<strong>. </strong>The aims of the research were 1) to study the level of acceptance in artificial intelligence of Thai National Airlines, 2) to study marketing performance of Thai National Airlines, and 3) to study a causal relationship model of artificial intelligence acceptance of Thai National Airlines. This quantitative research collected the data from 310 Thai National Airlines’ passengers. The questionnaire as a research instrument was tested with its validity of 0.67 and confidence level of 0.937. It was found that overall the respondents accepted the artificial intelligence at a high level (M = 3.97). The developed causal relationship model of artificial intelligence acceptance towards marketing performance of Thai National Airlines was congruent with the empirical data<strong>. </strong>The causal relationship model showed that the artificial intelligence acceptance had a direct effect on the marketing and the interaction between genders and occupations which influenced the marketing performance at a statistically significant level of 0.05. The airlines should accelerate the policy of using artificial intelligence (AI) in order to provide immediate service for the rapid growth of the passengers’ demands after Covid-19 becomes endemic and to increase the international competitiveness of Thai National Airlines.<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></p> Natesiri Ruangariyapuk Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 88 111 Sustainability Disclosure and Tax Planning: A Case of Listed Companies in Thailand Sustainability Investment Index https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269547 <p>The main objectives of this study were to explore the levels of sustainability disclosure and to examine the relationships between the levels of sustainability disclosure and tax planning of listed companies in the SET Thailand Sustainability (THIS) Investment Index, named SETTHSI index or SETESG index. The sample comprised 116 observations from listed companies in the index during 2020 - 2021. Sustainability disclosure data were measured using a questionnaire adapted from the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Global Report Initiative. Also, tax planning data were measured by three measures: current effective tax rates, the ratio of tax expenses and total assets, and the ratio of tax expenses to cash flow from operating activities.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This study revealed that most listed companies in the Thailand Sustainability Investment Index had high levels of sustainability information disclosure and tended to increase sustainability information disclosure. The Resource Industry had the highest disclosure level at 0.693, but Technology Industry had the lowest sustainability disclosure level at 0.556. In addition, the governance dimension and the environment dimension were the highest and lowest disclosure levels at 0.660 and 0.596, respectively. Moreover, the results of this study provided empirical evidence that either sustainability disclosures as a whole or environmental, social, and governance dimensions were negatively correlated with tax planning. They pointed out that companies listed in Thailand Sustainability Investment Index that disclose high levels of environmental, social, and corporate governance information as a whole or by high dimensions tend to have low tax planning, demonstrating awareness of tax responsibility.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Suchada Jiamsagul Siriyaporn Raso Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 112 134 The Green Marketing Strategy Affecting Trust and Purchase Intention of Consumers in Thailand https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269548 <p>The objective of this study is to analyze the predictive influence of green marketing on consumers' trust and intention to purchase green products.. The data were collected from 217 consumers in Thailand. The data were analyzed using multi-regression analysis. The research results revealed that green marketing strategy including product, price, place and promotion influenced consumers’ trust and purchase significantly at .05. Green products influenced consumers’ trust and purchase intention at 41% and 42%, respectively. Thus, the reliability and the awareness of the value of natural environment influenced trust and purchase intention of green products significantly with the reliability of more than 20%. Besides, the results confirmed that the reliability of green products was the main factor in buying green products in daily life. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Veerasak Jinarat Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-12-18 2023-12-18 20 2 135 152 The Effect of Gender of Board of Directors and Corporate Governance on the Level of Corporate Social https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journalmbsmut/article/view/269549 <p><strong>This study aims to examine the relationship between the gender of the board of directors, corporate governance, and social responsibility operations including </strong>the moderating effect of corporate governance on the relationship between the gender of the board of directors and social responsibility operations of listed companies in the stock exchange of Thailand.
