Abstract

The objectives of this research were: (1) to develop a public organizational effectiveness  measurement  model for Universities in Cambodia , and (2) to study multilevel  causal factors  influencing public organizational effectiveness for Universities in Cambodia at individual and discipline levels.A total of  samples were randomly stratified for 400 students. The instrument used was a questionnaire of organizational  effectiveness. Statistical analyses were made based on descriptive statistics and Multilevel Structural Equation Model. The results were as follows: (1) The proposed multilevel causal model of public organizational effectiveness for Universities  in Cambodia fitted well with the empirical data ; and (2) The model of public organizational effectiveness for Universities  in terms of students’ perceptions indicated  that for both levels, all variables were important for  representing the effectiveness. At  the  individual  level, the most important variable was the student  personality development while, at the discipline level, the most important variable was the staff  employment  satisfaction. However, organizational health was less important at both levels
