Abstract

This research aims to 1) study the performance potential, 2) study the factors affecting that potential, and 3) propose human resource development based on the Threefold Training (Trisikkha) for personnel at the Chanthaburi Provincial Learning Promotion Office. A mixed-methods research design was used. Quantitative research collected data from a sample of 175 people, analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. Qualitative research involved in-depth interviews with 18 key informants and focus group discussions with 11 informants.

The research findings showed that:

1. Performance potential comprises three aspects: Knowledge, including an understanding of academic subjects and the application of the PDCA cycle; Skills, including the ability to plan, think analytically, synthesize, and communicate; and Attitude, which includes faith, dedication, mindfulness, and serving as a good role model.


2. Factors affecting potential: Training, development, and education factors together can predict 61.1% of performance potential, while factors related to the Threefold Training (Trisikha), especially wisdom (understanding) and concentration (mental focus), can predict as much as 77.2% of performance potential, with statistical significance at the 0.01 level.


3. Guidelines for human resource development based on the Threefold Training (Trisikha): Morality (Sila) emphasizes good conduct and righteous behavior in personal life, and preparing oneself physically and mentally; Concentration (Samadhi) fosters a stable and focused mind, enabling concentration for planning and problem-solving; and Wisdom (Prajna) develops accurate and rational understanding, awareness of reality, and the ability to plan effectively.
