INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT FOR WATER MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY OF METROPOLITAN WATERWORKS AUTHORITY BY INTEGRATION ACCORDING TO IDDHIPADADHAMMA

Abstract

Objectives of this research article were: 1. to study the water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, 2. to study the factors affecting the water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority and 3. to propose the information technology development for water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority by Integrating Iddhibadadhamma. The quantitative research, the sample consisted of 372 personnel of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, the sample size was determined by using the Taro Yamane’s formula and using simple random sampling, the data were collected by using 5 rating scale questionnaires that had reliability value at 0.994. The data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and multiple regression. The qualitative research, the ley informants were 18 executives of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, academics in public administration and Buddhism purposefully selected. The data were collected by in-depth interviewing and analyzed by using content descriptive interpretation.

Findings were as follows: 1. The water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority was found that the water management efficiency, by overall was at high level. 2. The factors affecting the water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority was found that information technology development affected the water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority in every aspect with statistically significant level at the 0.01 level and could together explain the Variation at 58.7 percent. Iddhipadadhamma affected the water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority in every aspect with statistically significant level at 0.01 l and could together explan the Variation at 70.6 percent. 3. Information technology development for water management efficiency of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority by Integrating Iddhibadadhamma was found that the result was an integration of information technology development with Iddhipadadhamma included 1. work quality aspect, the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority had the potential to produce clean tap water that met standards, 2. work quantity aspect, the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority could produce enough tap water to meet the needs of the people, 3. time aspect, Metropolitan Waterworks Authority Produced tap water by using less time to produce tap water and 4. budgeting aspect, the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority used less budget to produce tap water.
