Main Article Content
Abstract
The purposes of this dissertation were 1) to study the components of development of Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha, 2) to develop a model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha, and 3) to propose the model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha. Multiphase mixed methods research was designed by using quantitative methods to extend qualitative results. It was divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 qualitative research, the key informant was qualified person in public welfare management and were selected by purposive sampling of 10 key informants. Research tool was interview form and data was analyzed by using analytic induction. Phase 2 was a qualitative research, focus group discussion by experts who were academics in the field of public welfare management using purposive sampling of 9 experts, data were analyzed by content analysis. Phase 3 was quantitative research by using a questionnaire to validate a model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha. The sample group was determined by using a sample size of 15 samples per 1 number of path showing the relationship between the variables in the model of all 29 paths. Therefore, the appropriate sample size should be 435 samples. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and analyzed to validate the model with the empirical data, and analyzed the direct and indirect effects with the LISREL program. Results were shown as follows: 1. The components of development of Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha consisted of 3 components: 1) development of public welfare management, namely welfare, support, development, integration, 2) Buddhist principles (Sangahavatthu IV), namely Obom-Aree (Dana), Vachi Phairoh (Piyavaja), community welfare (Attacariya), self-sufficiency (Samanattata), and 3) Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha, namely creating knowledge of love and unity, cultivate faith, connecting the mind of the monks with the community, and develop a network of volunteers. 2. A developed model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha has shown important factors and causal relationships, and the results that will lead to Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha consisted of 1) development on public welfare management, 2) Buddhist principles (Sangahavatthu IV), 3) Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha. Results of assessment showed that there were possible, accurate and appropriate. 3. The model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha was proposed as a causal relationship model that fit with the empirical data (Chi-square = 37.18, df = 25, p = .055, GFI = .986, AGFI = .956, RMR = .034). Accounting for the variations in development on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha was 95.20 percent, and it indicated that development on public welfare management can promote Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha by having Buddhist principles (Sangahavatthu IV) as a mediator in the model on Buddhist based public welfare management of the Thai Sangha, and PBD Model was proposed as knowledge from research.
