Employing a mixed￾methods approach, the research combines qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and <br>document analysis with quantitative survey data collected from faculty, administrative staff, <br>students, and international partners. The study examines the relationships among institutional <br>inputs (leadership, human capital, resources, policy, and stakeholder engagement), strategic <br>processes (specialist program development, research capacity building, international <br>collaboration, branding, and quality assurance), outputs (recognized programs, research <br>publications, international partnerships), and outcomes (global recognition, sustainable <br>specialist identity). Structural equation modeling (SEM) validates the proposed model, <br>demonstrating that effective processes mediate the impact of institutional inputs on outputs and <br>international recognition outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of aligning SSRU’s <br>strengths with coordinated processes, emphasizing branding, international partnerships, and <br>strategic resource allocation. The study provides a practical roadmap for SSRU and similar <br>mission-driven universities to consolidate their specialist identity, enhance global visibility, <br>and achieve sustainable international recognition.</p> Chutikarn Sriviboon Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 1 8 Determinants of Workers’ Income in the Gig Economy http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1819 <p>The rapid expansion of digital platforms has transformed Thailand’s labour market, leading to <br>the rise of the gig economy, where flexible, short-term, and task-based work increasingly <br>supplements or replaces traditional employment. This study investigates the determinants of <br>workers’ income in Thailand’s gig economy, focusing on how individual characteristics, job <br>attributes, and institutional factors jointly influence earnings. The research employs a <br>quantitative survey design with a sample of 400 gig workers from major sectors such as food <br>delivery, ride-hailing, and online freelancing. Data were analyzed using multiple regression <br>analysis to examine the impact of independent variables including education, digital literacy, <br>work experience, working hours, platform incentives, and job autonomy on workers’ income. <br>The results reveal that education level, digital skills, working hours, and platform type have <br>statistically significant positive effects on income, while income volatility remains influenced <br>by algorithmic management and inconsistent incentives. The results emphasize the need for <br>labor policy reforms to ensure fair pay, social protection, and digital skill development. The <br>findings also guide platform firms to enhance fairness and transparency in algorithmic <br>management and compensation systems.</p> Bundit Pungnirund Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 9 16 Developing a Cross-Media Communication Framework for Television Broadcasting in the Hybrid Media Era http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1820 <p>The rapid transformation of the media landscape from traditional broadcasting to hybrid media <br>ecosystems has compelled television stations in Thailand to strategically adapt their <br>communication approaches to sustain audience engagement. This study aims to develop a <br>Cross-Media Communication Framework that enhances the effectiveness of television <br>broadcasting in the hybrid media era. A mixed-methods design was employed, comprising in￾depth interviews with 20 media executives and content experts, followed by a quantitative <br>survey of Thai television viewers of 400 samples. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed four <br>key dimensions contributing to cross-media success: content integration, platform synergy, <br>audience engagement, and organizational transformation. The proposed model was then <br>validated using Structural Equation Modeling, demonstrating strong model fit and significant <br>causal relationships among the framework’s components (CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.052, p &lt; <br>0.001). Results indicate that platform integration and participatory audience communication are <br>critical drivers influencing communication effectiveness. The findings contribute to media <br>convergence and hybrid media theory while offering a strategic operational guide for Thai <br>broadcasters seeking to increase competitiveness and public value in a multi-platform <br>environment. This framework supports television stations in designing data-driven, interactive, <br>and coherent content pathways that strengthen viewer loyalty and media sustainability in <br>Thailand’s evolving media ecosystem.</p> Somsak Klaysung Nattapong Techarattanased Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 17 25 The Effectiveness of Experiential Marketing on Brand Loyalty in the Retail Sector http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1821 <p>This study examines the impact of experiential marketing on brand loyalty in Thailand’s retail <br>sector, focusing on how different experiential dimensions including sensory, affective, <br>cognitive, and behavioral, shape consumer perceptions and loyalty behaviors. The research <br>aims to understand how memorable customer experiences foster stronger emotional <br>connections and sustained loyalty. A quantitative research approach was applied using survey <br>data from 520 Thai retail consumers across various categories, including fashion, lifestyle, food <br>and beverage, and electronics. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to <br>test direct and indirect relationships among key variables. The findings reveal that affective <br>experiences have the strongest influence on brand loyalty, followed by sensory experiences, <br>while cognitive and behavioral experiences show weaker direct effects. Furthermore, customer <br>satisfaction and brand engagement were found to mediate the relationship between experiential <br>marketing and brand loyalty, confirming that emotional and relational factors enhance <br>customer attachment and repurchase intention. The results highlight that experiential marketing <br>is more effective in hedonic retail contexts, where consumers seek pleasure and enjoyment, <br>than in utilitarian ones. Practically, it suggests that Thai retailers should design immersive and <br>emotionally resonant experiences that strengthen satisfaction and engagement, thereby <br>enhancing long-term loyalty in an increasingly competitive retail landscape.</p> Chutima Klaysung Narong Anurak Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 26 35 The Influence of Green Marketing on Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Sustainable Products http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1822 <p>This study explores the influence of green marketing on consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) <br>for sustainable products in Thailand. The research examines how green product attributes, eco￾labeling, environmental advertising, and corporate social responsibility shape consumers’ <br>attitudes and intentions toward eco-friendly purchasing. Data were collected from 500 Thai <br>consumers using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through structural equation modeling <br>(SEM). The results reveal that green marketing has a significant positive effect on consumers’ <br>WTP, mediated by green brand image, trust, and perceived product value. Among the key <br>dimensions, eco-labeling and product quality exert the strongest influence, highlighting the <br>importance of transparency and credibility in environmental claims. The findings indicate that <br>consumers are increasingly motivated by authentic sustainability practices and clear <br>environmental communication. This study contributes to green marketing literature in emerging <br>markets and provides managerial insights for Thai businesses to design integrated, trustworthy, <br>and socially responsible marketing strategies that enhance consumer engagement and long-term <br>loyalty.</p> Nattapong Techarattanased Wanida Suwunniponth Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 36 44 Transmedia Storytelling Strategies and Their Impact on Film Branding and Audience Retention http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1823 <p>This study investigates the role of transmedia storytelling strategies in enhancing film branding <br>and audience retention within the Thai film industry. With the increasing integration of digital <br>media platforms and interactive content, filmmakers are leveraging transmedia narratives to <br>extend audience engagement beyond traditional theatrical releases. Using a qualitative research <br>approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with Thai film producers and <br>marketers, focus group discussions with audiences, and content analysis of selected transmedia <br>campaigns. Thematic analysis revealed that transmedia strategies—such as social media <br>extensions, web series, interactive campaigns, and cross-media collaborations—significantly <br>contribute to film branding by reinforcing brand recognition, emotional attachment, and <br>cultural relevance. Additionally, these strategies enhance audience retention by encouraging <br>repeat engagement, fostering fan communities, and maintaining long-term loyalty across <br>multiple platforms. The study provides empirical evidence of how transmedia storytelling <br>serves as a strategic tool for the Thai film industry and offers practical recommendations for <br>filmmakers and marketers to optimize audience engagement and brand value.</p> Pongsawee Supanonth Rumpapak L uekveerawattana Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 45 52 The Relationship Between Education Investment and Income Outcomes Among Young Thai Workers http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1824 <p>The acceleration of remote work arrangements during and following the global COVID‑19 <br>pandemic has spotlighted the need to understand its impacts on labor productivity, particularly <br>within service sectors of emerging economies. This study investigates the effects of remote <br>work on labor productivity in Thailand’s service sector, examining individual, organizational, <br>and environmental determinants. Data were collected from 412 employees across financial <br>services, business process outsourcing (BPO), customer support, and hospitality administration <br>using a structured online survey. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, including <br>Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, revealed that productivity is significantly influenced <br>by individual capabilities (education, digital skills, self-leadership), organizational and job￾related factors (work design, managerial support, communication practices), and environmental <br>conditions (home workspace suitability, internet connectivity). Frequent technical interruptions <br>negatively affected productivity. The findings suggest that remote work can enhance labor <br>productivity when employees are well-equipped, organizations provide structured support, and <br>infrastructural conditions are favorable. Implications for policymakers and managers include <br>the promotion of digital skill development, provision of managerial support, and improvement <br>of home work environments to sustain productivity in the service sector.</p> Yuthapoom Thanakijborisut Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 53 60 The Effect of Brand Storytelling on Consumers’ Purchase Intention of Thai Local Products http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1825 <p>This study examines the effect of brand storytelling on consumers’ purchase intention toward <br>Thai local products, focusing on how narrative quality, emotional engagement, and perceived <br>authenticity shape consumer decision-making. Grounded in narrative transportation theory and <br>meaning transfer theory, the research proposes that compelling brand stories enhance <br>consumers’ psychological immersion, strengthen their emotional connection with local brands, <br>and elevate perceptions of cultural value. A quantitative survey was conducted with Thai <br>consumers who purchase local products, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was <br>employed to analyze the proposed relationships. The results reveal that brand storytelling <br>significantly increases narrative transportation, which in turn enhances brand attitude and <br>trust—key mediators that influence purchase intention. Authenticity cues embedded in the <br>stories, such as cultural heritage and craftsmanship, were also found to strengthen consumers’ <br>intentions to buy local products. These findings contribute to the branding and consumer <br>behavior literature by demonstrating that storytelling is a crucial communication tool that can <br>differentiate Thai local products in an increasingly competitive market.

This study investigates ethical and safe practices in live streaming media production, <br>with a focus on content moderation and viewer protection in the Thai context. Using a <br>qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with content <br>creators, platform moderators, and viewers, complemented by focus group discussions, live <br>stream observations, and document analysis of platform guidelines and Thai regulations. The <br>findings reveal that automated moderation tools are often insufficient to manage nuanced or <br>context-specific harmful content, highlighting the need for hybrid moderation strategies <br>combining AI and human oversight. Ethical awareness among creators varies, with smaller <br>streamers demonstrating inconsistent safety practices. Viewers remain vulnerable to offensive, <br>graphic, or psychologically harmful content, emphasizing the importance of proactive safety <br>measures, localized AI moderation, and culturally adapted guidelines. The study concludes that <br>effective ethical and safe practices in Thailand require integration of technological solutions, <br>creator education, and regulatory alignment, providing actionable insights for platforms, <br>policymakers, and digital media producers.</p> Pitimanus Bunlue Kanittha Seskhumbong Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 69 76 Perceived Risk and Its Influence on Financial Asset Investment Decisions of Thai Investors http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1827 <p>This study examines how perceived risk influences financial asset investment decisions among <br>Thai investors. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 420 respondents <br>through a structured questionnaire measuring five dimensions of perceived risk: financial, <br>performance, psychological, social, and time risks. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, <br>and multiple regression analysis were employed to determine the relationships among <br>variables. The findings reveal that financial risk, performance risk, and psychological risk <br>significantly and negatively affect investment decisions, indicating that higher perceived risk <br>reduces investors’ willingness to invest. Time risk exerts a weaker but significant influence, <br>while social risk demonstrates no significant effect. These results support behavioral finance <br>theories suggesting that investment behavior is shaped not only by financial information but <br>also by individuals’ subjective perceptions and emotional responses to uncertainty. The study <br>highlights the importance of enhancing investors financial literacy, improving transparency in <br>financial products, and developing effective investor education programs to reduce perceived <br>risks and promote more confident and informed decision-making in Thailand’s financial <br>markets.</p> Krisada Sungkhamanee Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 77 83 Effects of Flexible Work Models on Job Satisfaction and Employee Performance in Government Organizations http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1828 <p>This study examines the effects of flexible work models (FWMs) on job satisfaction and <br>employee performance in government organizations in Thailand. A quantitative, cross￾sectional design was employed, surveying 450 government employees engaged in flexible <br>work arrangements, including telecommuting, flexible hours, compressed workweeks, and <br>hybrid models. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using <br>descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, with job satisfaction tested <br>as a mediator. Results indicate that FWMs significantly enhance job satisfaction (β = 0.498, p <br>&lt; 0.001) and employee performance (β = 0.377, p &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, job satisfaction <br>partially mediates the relationship between FWMs and employee performance, suggesting that <br>flexibility improves performance both directly and indirectly. These findings highlight the <br>importance of adopting flexible work policies in government organizations to increase <br>employee engagement, satisfaction, and productivity. The study provides empirical evidence <br>for policymakers and human resource managers in the Thai public sector, emphasizing the <br>strategic value of FWMs for enhancing organizational effectiveness.</p> Siri-orn Champatong Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 84 90 A Study on Trade and Investment Risk Assessment of Thai Firms in Foreign Markets http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1829 <p>This study investigates the trade and investment risks faced by Thai firms operating in foreign <br>markets and examines their impact on firm performance. A quantitative survey was conducted <br>with 400 Thai companies engaged in cross-border trade and investment, including SMEs and <br>large enterprises. The findings reveal that political and regulatory risks are the most critical, <br>followed by currency and market risks, while operational risks have a moderate impact. <br>Regression analysis indicates that higher exposure to these risks significantly reduces firm <br>performance, including profitability, market share, and brand reputation. Moreover, the study <br>finds that internal firm capabilities, such as managerial international experience and firm size, <br>play a moderating role, mitigating the negative effects of external risks. Firms implementing <br>structured risk assessment frameworks report better performance, emphasizing the practical <br>importance of systematic evaluation and proactive management. This research contributes <br>theoretically by extending understanding of international business risk assessment in emerging <br>economies, particularly in the Thai context, and provides practical insights for managers and <br>policymakers to enhance decision-making and sustainable growth in global markets.</p> Pichamon Chansuchai Wipanee Maen-in Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 91 97 Determinants of Auditors’ Intention to Leave Their Job in Thailand http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1830 <p>Auditor turnover has become a significant challenge for accounting firms in Thailand, affecting <br>audit quality and organizational performance. This study investigates the determinants of <br>auditors’ intention to leave their job, focusing on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, <br>work stress, career development opportunities, and social support. A quantitative research <br>design was adopted, with data collected through a structured questionnaire from 350 auditors <br>working in accounting firms across Thailand. The data were analyzed using descriptive <br>statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that work <br>stress positively influences auditors’ turnover intention, whereas job satisfaction and <br>organizational commitment are the strongest negative predictors. Career development <br>opportunities and social support also significantly reduce turnover intention, although their <br>effects are comparatively smaller. These results highlight the importance of implementing <br>stress management programs, enhancing employee satisfaction and commitment, and <br>providing clear career advancement opportunities to retain skilled auditors. The study <br>contributes to both theory and practice by offering a comprehensive model of turnover intention <br>specific to the Thai auditing context.</p> Pranee Tridhoskul Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 98 104 Impact of International Market Entry Strategies on the Business Success of Thai SMEs http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1831 <p>This study investigates the impact of international market entry strategies on the business <br>success of Thai small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With the increasing globalization <br>of markets, SMEs must carefully select entry modes that align with their resources, capabilities, <br>and strategic objectives to achieve sustainable international growth. A quantitative approach <br>was employed, collecting data from 400 Thai SMEs across manufacturing, food and beverage, <br>consumer products, and service sectors. The study examines four primary entry modes: <br>exporting, joint ventures, wholly-owned subsidiaries, and franchising/licensing, and their <br>effects on multiple dimensions of business success, including financial performance, market <br>share, brand recognition, and customer satisfaction. The findings reveal that exporting and joint <br>ventures significantly enhance financial performance and market share, while wholly-owned <br>subsidiaries strongly contribute to brand recognition. Franchising and licensing positively <br>influence customer satisfaction, albeit to a lesser extent. Moreover, managerial experience and <br>network ties were found to strengthen the relationship between entry mode strategy and <br>business success. The study offers practical insights for Thai SMEs and policymakers to <br>optimize entry mode selection and strategic planning in global markets, contributing to the <br>theoretical literature on SME internationalization.</p> Punchaya Hiranrithikorn Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 105 111 Strategic Models for Enhancing Cultural Gastronomic Tourism in Thailand http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1832 <p>Cultural gastronomic tourism has emerged as a key strategy to promote Thailand’s culinary <br>heritage, support local communities, and enhance sustainable tourism development. This study <br>aims to develop comprehensive models for cultural gastronomic tourism by integrating local <br>food identity, community participation, tourist experiential engagement, and sustainable <br>practices. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative data from in-depth <br>interviews and focus group discussions with community members, tourism operators, and <br>policy stakeholders, and quantitative data from 420 tourists visiting gastronomic tourism sites <br>across Thailand. Qualitative findings highlighted the importance of community involvement, <br>heritage-based culinary experiences, and participatory approaches for sustainable and authentic <br>tourism. Quantitative analysis, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), confirmed that local <br>food identity, community participation, and sustainability practices significantly influence <br>tourists’ experiential engagement and intention to revisit. Based on the integration of these <br>findings were developed and validated with experts. These models provide practical guidelines <br>for policymakers, tourism planners, and local communities to design effective, culturally <br>authentic, and sustainable gastronomic tourism initiatives in Thailand.</p> Mananya Meenakorn Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 112 119 The Effectiveness of AI-Powered Chatbots in Enhancing Customer Experience and Purchase Intention on Social Media Platforms http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1833 <p>This study investigates the effectiveness of AI-powered chatbots in enhancing customer experience and purchase intention on social media platforms in Thailand. As businesses increasingly adopt conversational AI tools to improve customer engagement, understanding how chatbot quality affects consumer behavior is crucial. Data were collected from 450 Thai consumers who interacted with chatbots on platforms such as Facebook Messenger, LINE, and Instagram. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the results reveal that chatbot service quality—comprising responsiveness, reliability, empathy, personalization, and usability—significantly improves customer experience, which in turn strengthens satisfaction, trust, and purchase intention. The findings confirm that customer experience mediates the relationship between chatbot service quality and purchase intention, highlighting the importance of emotional and functional interaction design. Moreover, responsiveness has a stronger influence on Facebook users, whereas personalization is more significant on LINE. The study contributes to marketing and information systems literature by offering empirical evidence of how AI-powered chatbots shape consumer experience and behavioral outcomes in Thailand’s rapidly evolving social commerce environment.</p> Ladaporn Pithuk Rewadee Waiyawassana Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 120 127 Ethical Factors Influencing Fraudulent Behavior of Accountants http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1834 <p>Fraudulent behavior among accountants poses significant risks to financial reporting, corporate <br>governance, and investor confidence. This study investigates the ethical factors influencing <br>fraudulent behavior among accountants in Thailand, focusing on ethical awareness, moral <br>reasoning, adherence to professional codes of conduct, and perceived organizational support. <br>A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a quantitative survey of 362 accountants <br>from Big Four, Non-Big Four, and private organizations, and qualitative semi-structured <br>interviews with 20 accounting professionals. Quantitative results indicate that ethical <br>awareness (β = –0.28, p &lt; .001) and adherence to professional codes (β = –0.25, p &lt; .001) are <br>the strongest predictors of reduced fraudulent behavior, followed by moral reasoning (β = –<br>0.22, p &lt; .001) and perceived organizational support (β= –0.18, p &lt; .01). Correlation analysis <br>further confirmed significant negative relationships between all ethical factors and fraudulent <br>behavior (p &lt; .001). Qualitative findings highlight that ethics training, leadership support, <br>organizational culture, and clear professional guidelines play essential roles in mitigating <br>fraudulent actions. These findings suggest that both individual ethical capacities and <br>organizational context are critical in preventing accounting fraud in Thailand. The study <br>provides practical implications for firms, regulators, and professional bodies to strengthen <br>ethics education, promote adherence to professional standards, and cultivate ethical <br>organizational cultures.</p> Khwanchat Wongjantip Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 128 135 The Impact of Online Retail Competition on Consumer Price Satisfaction http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1835 <p>The rapid expansion of online retail platforms has intensified competition among sellers, <br>fundamentally reshaping consumer price perceptions and satisfaction. This study examines the <br>impact of online retail competition on consumer price satisfaction in Thailand, with a particular <br>focus on the mediating role of price fairness and transparency. Data were collected from 420 <br>Thai consumers who had recently purchased products from major e-commerce platforms, using <br>an online survey measuring perceptions of competition, price fairness, and satisfaction. <br>Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, multiple regression, and mediation analyses were <br>employed to test the relationships among variables. Results indicate that online retail <br>competition significantly enhances consumer price satisfaction, both directly and indirectly <br>through perceived price fairness. Price fairness and transparency emerged as the strongest <br>predictor of satisfaction, highlighting the importance of clear and equitable pricing <br>communication. Frequent online shoppers and younger consumers exhibited higher sensitivity <br>to competitive pricing, suggesting that demographic and experiential factors shape responses <br>to online retail competition. The findings provide practical implications for online retailers to <br>design transparent pricing and promotional strategies and for policymakers to promote fair <br>marketing practices in Thailand’s digital retail sector.</p> Sareeya do Amaral Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 136 143 The Influence of Digital Media on Political Attitudes and National Security http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1836 <p>The rapid growth of digital media has significantly reshaped political communication and <br>public engagement in Thailand, raising concerns about its implications for political attitudes <br>and national security. This study examines the effect of digital media exposure on political <br>attitudes and how these attitudes influence perceptions of national security risks among Thai <br>citizens. Using a mixed-methods explanatory design, quantitative data were collected from a <br>nationwide survey of 400 social media users and analyzed using regression and structural <br>equation modeling techniques. The results show that digital media exposure and perceived <br>information credibility significantly shape political attitudes, which in turn strongly predict <br>perceptions of national security risks, including misinformation, political instability, and public <br>order concerns. Exposure to online misinformation further amplifies these perceived risks. <br>Qualitative interviews support the quantitative findings, highlighting information overload, <br>political polarization, and concerns over national unity. The findings underscore the dual role <br>of digital media as both a catalyst for political engagement and a source of potential security <br>challenges, offering important implications for digital governance, media literacy, and policy <br>development in Thailand.</p> Grissana Jannit Natnichar Kleebbuabarn Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 144 151 The Effects of Remote Work on Labor Productivity in the Service Sector http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1837 <p>This study examines the effects of remote work on labor productivity in Thailand’s service <br>sector. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 400 employees <br>across multiple service industries, including finance, education, ICT, and professional services. <br>Structured questionnaires measured remote work intensity, labor productivity, and <br>organizational support. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, <br>confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results <br>indicate that remote work has a significant positive effect on labor productivity (β = 0.41, p &lt; <br>0.001), and organizational support both directly influences productivity (β = 0.52, p &lt; 0.001) <br>and partially mediates the relationship between remote work and productivity (β = 0.21, p &lt; <br>0.001). These findings highlight that productivity gains from remote work are maximized when <br>supported by digital tools, training, and clear management practices. The study provides <br>empirical evidence for organizations and policymakers to design effective remote work policies <br>in the Thai service sector, ensuring operational efficiency, employee satisfaction, and <br>sustainable workforce performance.</p> Khajeerat Phumphruk Copyright (c) 2026-02-02 2026-02-02 152 158 The Application of Digital Accounting Systems to Enhance Accounting Information Quality for SME Entrepreneurs http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICH2026/article/view/1838 <p>This study investigates the impact of digital accounting system adoption on the quality of <br>accounting information among SME entrepreneurs in Thailand. Utilizing a mixed-methods <br>approach, the research collected quantitative data from 400 SME entrepreneurs through <br>structured questionnaires and qualitative insights from 20 in-depth interviews. The quantitative <br>analysis employed descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression to examine the <br>relationships between digital accounting adoption, digital competency, and accounting <br>information quality. Qualitative thematic analysis explored entrepreneurs’ experiences, <br>challenges, and perceptions in implementing digital accounting systems. The findings indicate <br>that digital accounting adoption significantly enhances accounting information quality, <br>particularly in terms of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and reliability.
