| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted primarily to find out the perceived role expectations and role performance of the Tambon council members in Chai-nat province, Thailand. It also aimed to find out the demographic and psychological factors associated with the respondents role expectations and role performance. The respondents consisted of 100 sample Tambon council members selected using the quota sampling technique with a 3:1 ratio. A questionnaire adapted and modified from Mookdee (1986) was used for data gathering. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and the Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient. Results showed that the Tambon council members of Chai-nat Province, Thailand had a mean age of 49.10 years with majority classified as old. They had low educational attainments, undergone trainings relative to their jobs and claimed that they held leadership positions in the past. They spent about seven or more years as tambon council members and visited the village often. They had a high positive attitude towards their task as council members. The pooled role expectations of the respondents was 4.32 which could be categorized as "very high role expectation". With regards to role performance, the mean rating was 4.02 which is classified as "high role performance". Specifically, the actual roles where the Tambon council members claimed high performance were "implementation of rural development", "involvement in community development activities", "listen to ideas of the village committee and consulting them before putting any community projects into effect", "provide viewpoints for the tambon development projects", "plan programs for community development", "motivate people to participate", "study requirements proposed by the village committee and motivate people to develop their own community". It was further found that differences exist in the role expectations of the Tambon council members when classified according to educational attainment, trainings attended and attitude. Differences also exist in the role performance of the Tambon council members when classified according to trainings attended, leadership experience, frequency of visits and attitude. The perceived role expectations and role performance of the Tambon council members differed significantly. Generally, role expectation was higher than their actual role performance in each specific duty which they were expected to perform. | |
