Abstract

This study aimed to examine the participation and leadership skills that influence solid waste management among officials under the local administrative organizations in Nong Bua Lam Phu Province. The data were collected using a questionnaire that was examined for content validity by three experts. All items had a consistency index of more than 0.50 and the reliability of the questionnaire was Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.94. Data were collected between November 21, 2024 and December 10, 2024. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum values) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression) with a significance level of 0.05. The results revealed that the overall levels of participation, leadership skills, and solid waste management of the officials were high (𝑥̅ = 4.04, S.D. = 0.50), (𝑥̅ = 4.25, S.D. = 0.46), and (𝑥̅ = 4.32, S.D. = 0.47), respectively. And it was found that there were 4 independent variables that had an effect and were able to together predict solid waste management of officials under local administrative organizations. Nong Bua Lamphu Province received 72.0 percent (R2= 0.720, p-value <0.001).
