Abstract

Thailand's public health system's management aspect is instrumental in strengthening. By decentralizing healthcare services to communities, there is the potential to decrease hospitalization rates. The Village Health Volunteer plays a crucial role in this system, and promoting their optimal performance is essential for the success of public health initiatives. This study aims to examine the organizational climate, job satisfaction, commitment, and performance effectiveness among Village Health Volunteers, as well as to investigate the influence of organizational climate, job satisfaction, and commitment on operational effectiveness. This research adopts a quantitative approach, with a sample of 402 Village Health Volunteers selected using a randomized, segmented method. Data will be collected through questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings are expected to reveal that a high organizational atmosphere is associated with elevated job satisfaction, commitment, and effectiveness. Furthermore, it is anticipated that organizational climate, job satisfaction, and commitment will positively impact operational effectiveness.
