The data were collected from 525 representatives from various sectors in Thailand such as local administrative organizations, municipalities, and community enterprises, etc. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and second-order confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the importance levels of 20 subfactors were ranging from 3.72 (Attitude in Politeness) to 4.35 (Role in Leader) and the second-order confirmatory factor analysis of the community innovator measurement model showed that the developed measurement model was consistent with the empirical data. This could be determined from the chi-square value of 157.19 (p-value=0.59) and degrees of freedom was 162, Goodness of Fit (GFI) was 0.97, Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI) was 0.96, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was 0.0. All factor loadings of subfactors in terms of standard scores were positive, ranging from 0.72-0.90, and statistically significant at the .05 level. The proportion could be explained by a factor was about 43% to 65%.
