Abstract

Abstract— This research, titled “Factors Affecting the Efficiency of Supplies Management at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University,” aimed to study the level of supplies management, its efficiency, and the factors influencing it. The sample consisted of 196 academic support personnel from the university. The findings revealed that the overall efficiency of supplies management at the faculty was at the highest level. When considering specific aspects, all were rated at the highest level, ranked as follows from highest to lowest: Value for Money (Mean = 4.82), Transparency (Mean = 4.78), Efficiency and Effectiveness (Mean = 4.70), and Auditing (Mean = 4.64). Furthermore, the analysis of factors influencing efficiency found that supplies management efficiency (Y) had a statistically significant positive relationship (p < .05) with both Personal Characteristics (Degree) and Process Factors (FacC), which together explained 17.9% of the variance in supplies management efficiency, with a standard error of estimate of 0.1833. The predictive equation in raw scores indicates that the factors within supplies management that significantly affect its efficiency are Supplies Management Planning and Information Systems for supplies control.
