The Development of an Academic Work Management Model Using a Digital Calendar to Enhance Collaboration: A Case Study of General Education, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University

Abstract

This research, “The Development of an Academic Work Management Model Using a Digital Calendar to Enhance Collaboration,” aimed to develop a work management model and evaluate the satisfaction level of personnel towards it. The sample group consisted of academic staff from The Office of General Education and Innovative Electronic Learning, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument to measure satisfaction across six dimensions of collaboration: 1) Data Connectivity, 2) Redundancy Reduction, 3)Team Efficiency, 4) Collaboration Satisfaction, 5) Communication Clarity, and 6) Team Involvement. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that the overall satisfaction with the management model using a digital calendar was at the highest level ( x̅ = 4.78, S.D. = 0.48). When considering each dimension, all were rated at the highest level. The dimension with the highest mean score was Collaboration Satisfaction ( x̅ = 4.86), followed by Data Connectivity ( x̅ = 4.81), and both Team Efficiency and Team Involvement ( x̅ = 4.77), respectively. In conclusion, the academic work management model using a digital calendar is a highly effective tool for promoting collaborative work. It demonstrably improves satisfaction and enhances coordination among academic staff. This model can serve as a guideline for implementation in other departments to improve operational efficiency..
