THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTORS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF MAHACHULALOGKORNRAJAVIDYALAYA UNIVERSITY

Abstract

 The objectives of the development of instructors’ academic performance indicators of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University included: to develop performance indicators; to check the model for measuring performance indicators; and to construct and confirm the model of academic performance for the achievement of the instructors of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this study. The target population included the instructors of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University. In qualitative research, related documents and treatises were studied. Sampling groups for quantitative research were 400 instructors of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University including central, campus and college levels. The research found that the academic performance indicators of the instructors of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University consisted of 75 indicators. The secondary order confirmation found 52 selected indicators of 5 components. The results of secondary order confirmation showed that the value of each of the 52 selected indicators was positive and capable of measuring the components of academic performance of the instructors of Mahachulalongkornrajaviddyalaya University. Statistical significance was at the level of 0.1 in 5 components that could be chronologically arranged by factor loading from the highest to the lowest as the followings: 1) instruction performance; 2) research performance; 3) academic service performance; 4) art and culture promotion performance; and 5) academic leadership performance with the value of factor loading at 0.766, 0.721, 0.642, 0.574 and 0.548 respectively. There was item-objective congruence (IOC) between the model and empirical data or constructive validity with chi-square (x2)=12.416, df=7, P-Value=0.183 that was higher than 0.05 (indicated that x2=7.05), CFI=0.988, TLI=0.974, SRMR=0.004, RMSEA=0.003 and the constructive reliability=0.978 that all the values were higher than 0.60 complying with the standard of the measurement model.
