CMMU Faculty Research on State Enterprise Leadership in Thailand Published by Scopus Journal

CMMU Visionary Leadership research at a Thai state enterprise by Assistant Professor Dr. Sooksan Kantabutra and Dr. Molraudee Saratun has been published by Management Research Review, a SCOPUS journal. 

Extending previous research, the present study examines relationships between vision realization factors and employee satisfaction at a Thai state enterprise.  Derived from the literature, these vision realization factors are vision communication, motivation, and empowerment of employees. Findings indicate that vision communication, motivation, and empowerment of employees are directly predictive of enhanced employee satisfaction at the Thai state enterprise.

The study offers some important implications for practicing managers. To enhance employee satisfaction, supervisors of all levels at a Thai state enterprise should focus on frequently communicating their vision to their direct subordinates, particularly through written and technology-mediated channels. The supervisors should also delegate work to their subordinates, provide resources and support services to them, and encourage them to make more decisions regarding daily operations. The supervisors should additionally act as a role model for their subordinates, build subordinates’ self-confidence, create challenges for them, and reward subordinates who act consistently with their vision. For a full report, please click here.
