Journal Title: International Journal of the Computer, the Internet and Management - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
This research aims: 1) to specify the core competency of Thai engineers and architects after accommodating ASEAN chartered professional engineers and architects, 2) to evaluate the actual core competency of Thai engineers and architects after accommodating ASEAN chartered professional engineers and architects, 3) to analyze the causal model affecting the core competency of Thai engineers and architects, and 4) to propose policies for the development of the core competency of Thai engineers and architects after accommodating ASEAN chartered professional engineers and architects of the ASEAN economic community in 2015. Qualitative research methodology was employed in this research by obtaining in-depth interviews from the experts. This was to gain information for creating well-designed questionnaires. Quantitative research methodology was also employed by collecting questionnaires from Thai engineers and architects residing in Bangkok. The sample size was 140 participants, using the formula n=50+8p. The questionnaire covered all of the variables in accordance with the purposes of the study. The study indicated that the core competency of Thai engineers and architects after accommodating ASEAN chartered professional engineers and architects with respect to foreign languages, laws, and culture was at a moderate level (46.4-77.9%); competency with respect to professional skills for Thai engineers and architects was at a moderate level (average = 2.62 or 65.5%); competency with respect to Thai professional engineering and architectural experience in each area was at a moderate level (average = 2.69 out of 4, or 67.41%); competency with respect to the professional ethics of Thai engineers and architects was at a moderate level (49.3-64.3%); and competency with respect to human resource development in engineering and architecture was at a moderate level, by obtaining Continuing Professional Development (CPD) after accommodating ASEAN chartered professional engineers and architects. Causal model analysis revealed that the variables in Thai professional engineering and architectural experience in the ASEAN Economic Community and the variables in human resource development in engineering and architecture appeared to be intervening variables, playing a moderate role in the core competency of Thai engineers and architects. However, they have a significant effect on the professional ethics of Thai engineers and architects.
