The study on the relationship between employee engagement and job performance
Independent Study (M.B.A. (International Business)) -- University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2024In today's knowledge economy, human capital has become a source of competitive advantage for enterprises. The creation of enterprise value, resource allocation, and the acquisition of competitive advantage ultimately depend on employees. However, in an era of increasing employee turnover rates, how to effectively enhance the engagement of knowledge-based employees and improve their job performance has become a crucial topic for enterprises. The main purpose of this study is to explore the impact of employee engagement on job performance among employees engaged in technical and managerial work. Based on the research conclusions, constructive suggestions are provided on how to enhance the engagement of these employees to improve their job performance, ultimately achieving better organizational performance. This study measures the engagement of employees in technical and managerial positions using the UWES scale developed by American scholar Schaufeli. Job performance measurement is based on the selection of seven task performance items suitable for employees from Williams and Anderson (1991), and fifteen contextual performance items from Van Scotter and Motowidlo (1996). Among them, the interpersonal facilitation dimension includes seven items, and the dedication dimension includes eight items. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the scales used have good reliability and validity. A field survey was conducted among employees engaged in technical and managerial work in Beijing, collecting 320 valid questionnaires. Statistical analysis of the data indicates a significant positive correlation between employee engagement and job performance, as well as between their respective dimensions. The main content of this study includes reviewing the literature on employee engagement, job performance, and their relationship; using empirical research methods to analyze the overall status of employee engagement among employees engaged in technical and managerial work in China and conducting quantitative research on the relationship between employee engagement and job performance; proposing corresponding solutions and strategies based on the empirical research to enhance employee engagement and improve job performance; and summarizing the study by identifying its limitations and suggesting directions for future research. Compared to previous studies in this field, the main innovations of this research are: 1. Previous related research mostly focused on the relationship between engagement and organizational performance from an organizational perspective, primarily through practical research by consulting firms. This study innovates by exploring the relationship between individual engagement and job performance from an individual perspective. 2. This study selects employees engaged in technical and managerial work as a special research group, differing from previous studies focusing on civil servants, teachers, state-owned, and private enterprise employees. 3. Based on empirical research conclusions, this study proposes targeted solutions and strategies from an overall human resources perspective. By enhancing the engagement of employees engaged in technical and managerial work, their performance can be improved, ultimately achieving better organizational performance

Research and analysis on factors influencing Beijing consumers' car purchase intention : taking BYD as an example
Independent Study (M.B.A. (International Business)) -- University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2024In the booming fertile land of the Chinese automobile market, the wave of new energy vehicles is sweeping at an unprecedented speed, and its steady increase in popularity marks the Chinese automobile industry entering a new era of green and low-carbon. BYD, as a shining star in this field, has become a leading enterprise in the domestic new energy vehicle market with its profound technological accumulation and forward-looking market layout, attracting widespread social attention and consumer favor. This study focuses on Beijing, the forefront of China's new energy vehicle promotion, and takes local consumers as specific research objects to deeply analyze the key factors that affect their choice of BYD cars. Through a carefully designed questionnaire survey, we extensively collected first-hand data from respondents from different backgrounds, age groups, and consumption abilities, and used advanced statistical analysis tools to analyze multiple dimensions in detail, including but not limited to brand value, social value, sentiment value, price value, policy value, technological innovation level, and consumer personal preferences. The key to BYD's ability to stand out in fierce market competition lies in its strong brand influence and sustained technological innovation ability. Brand value is one of the important factors that consumers consider when choosing a car. BYD has successfully shaped a high-quality and high-tech brand image through years of market cultivation and reputation accumulation, winning the trust and love of consumers. The level of technological innovation is also the core competitiveness of BYD. Whether it is battery technology, motor drive, or intelligent driving assistance systems, BYD is at the forefront of the industry, providing consumers with a driving experience that exceeds expectations. The government's policy orientation and recognition of social values have also to some extent promoted consumers' Intention to purchase BYD new energy vehicles. The policy level subsidies, relaxation of travel and purchase restrictions, and improvement of charging infrastructure have provided consumers with a more convenient environment for purchasing and using cars. As a synonym for environmental protection and energy conservation, new energy vehicles have increasingly highlighted their social value, further stimulating consumer purchasing enthusiasm. Although price value and sentiment value have an impact on car purchase intention, they are not decisive factors. This indicates that in today's gradually mature new energy vehicle market, consumers are more focused on the actual performance and long-term value of products, rather than just staying at the price level or personal sentiment preferences.Based on the above findings, this study proposes strategic recommendations for BYD and similar enterprises: on the one hand, enterprises should continue to increase R&D investment, continuously improve brand influence and technological innovation level, lead the market with technology, and win consumers with quality; On the other hand, the government should continue to optimize the policy environment and increase support for the new energy vehicle industry, including financial subsidies, tax incentives, infrastructure construction, etc., to provide strong guarantees for the healthy development of the new energy vehicle market. This study not only provides empirical evidence for the marketing strategies of companies such as BYD, but also provides valuable reference for government departments to formulate policies for the new energy vehicle industry

The impact of brand image and brand trust on consumers purchase intention of BYD EV car in Bangkok
Independent Study (M.B.A. (International Business)) -- University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2024This study investigates the influence of brand image and brand trust on consumers' intention to purchase BYD EV cars in Bangkok, Thailand. In this study, brand image was divided into three dimensions, namely corporate image, product/service image and user image, with reference to the Biel model, in order to understand how these factors affect the decision-making process of consumers' purchase intention for BYD EV cars. The research data was collected using a single structured questionnaire, and 289 valid questionnaires were obtained. Through descriptive data analysis of demographic characteristics and frequency distribution, it is known that the main respondents are male (55.6%), of which 48.4% are aged between 30-39, indicating that relatively young consumers have a high acceptance of new energy vehicles. The majority of respondents had a Bachelor's degree or higher, indicating that most of the sample was highly educated. Income levels vary. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for reliability analysis and the reliability scores for each dimension were high, indicating internal consistency and within the acceptable research range. Validity analysis ensures that the measured results accurately reflect the structure of interest. Sampling adequacy was verified by KMO measurements, and the Bartlett sphericity test significantly confirmed that the data were suitable for analysis. Correlation analysis is used to check whether there is a significant positive correlation between the independent variables (company image, product/service image, user image, brand trust) and the dependent variable (purchase intention). Meanwhile, multiple regression analysis was used to further determine the relative contribution of the predictors to purchase intention. It is found that the three dimensions of brand image have a impact on consumers' purchase intention, and the impact of product/service image on consumers' purchase intention is much higher than that of company image and user image. Brand trust also has a significant positive effect on consumers' purchase intention, but the effect is still lower than that of product/service image in the three dimensions of brand image. At the same time, the explanatory power of these factors for purchase intention is 43.8%, and there are other factors that are not mentioned. The research results have practical significance for BYD and new energy automobile enterprises. For example, BYD and other new energy automobile manufacturers should strengthen their corporate image, emphasize their brand awareness and industry status in this field, establish a good corporate image, and enhance consumer confidence. Maintain high quality products while focusing on service quality and enterprise research and development capabilities. Build strong brand trust through reliable products and outstanding services to enhance consumer confidence and purchase intentions. This study highlights the importance of good brand image and brand trust in shaping the purchase intention of consumers with new entry technology "EV Car". The results show that marketing strategies that pay attention to these factors can help increase sales. Future research could further explore other factors that influence purchase intention

Independent Study (M.B.A. (International Business)) -- University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2024As the Sino-US trade war gradually intensifies, more and more Chinese companies are investing and producing in Thailand. As one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia, Thailand has a unique geographical location and a superior investment environment. However, in the process of landing in Thailand, Chinese companies must also face management challenges due to the significant differences between China and Thailand in culture and market. Therefore, many subsidiaries of Chinese manufacturing companies in Thailand face problems of low employee loyalty and high turnover. For Thai subsidiaries of Chinese multinational companies, cultivating localized talents is more important for improving the company's competitiveness and sustainable development. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors that affect the loyalty of local employees. This study will focus on a subsidiary of a Chinese cemented carbide company in the WHA Industrial Park in Chonburi, Thailand, and analyze the impact of three factors, namely work environment, salary and benefits, and leadership style, on employee loyalty. The current case company has 178 employees, mainly produces cemented carbide products, has many machines and equipment, and multiple cemented carbide production lines. This paper is based on the research results of predecessors and related theoretical foundations and takes the case company as the research object. This study determined the meaning and content of each variable in the study through a large number of literatures references and determined the content and method of the questionnaire. This study conducted a questionnaire survey on all employees of the case company, and finally collected 161 valid questionnaires. Through regression analysis of the questionnaire data, it was determined that the work environment and leadership style of the case company had a positive impact on employee loyalty, and salary and benefits had no significant impact on employee loyalty. Based on the survey analysis results and references, this study provides improvement directions for how the case company can improve its work environment and leadership style to help the case company improve employee loyalty
