BUDDHADHAMMA INTEGRATION FOR PROMOTING PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE COURT STAFF

Abstract

This research article aims to 1. assess the performance potential of administrative court personnel, 2. examine the factors that enhance such potential, and 3. propose a Buddhist-integrated framework to promote staff capacity. A qualitative research design was employed, consisting of four main steps: purposive selection of informants, data collection through in-depth interviews, validation of recorded data, and content analysis. The 25 key informants were grouped into seven categories, including high-level administrators, judges, civil servants, contract personnel, and scholars specializing in public law, administrative sciences, and Buddhist studies.

The findings revealed that 1. five key dimensions transparency, accuracy, unity, quality standards, and teamwork serve as systemic foundations for organizational legitimacy; 2. enhanced staff capacity depends on knowledge, skills, and personal attributes, with particular emphasis on moral integrity cultivated through organizational culture; and 3. integrating the Threefold Training Sila (morality), Samadhi (concentration), and Panya (wisdom) is vital for promoting ethical behavior, emotional regulation, and reflective thinking. These qualities are essential for aligning with Digital HR and E-Government strategies, especially in fostering transparency, accountability, and moral reasoning within a digitized justice system.
