Abstract:
The objectives of the study are 1) To explore the problems of operating procedure and legal contract secure storage; 2) To develop a procedure manual for monitoring policy and the storage of contractual documents; and 3) To evaluate the effectiveness of the manual. The instruments and techniques applied consisted of open-ended interview questions associated with potential problems; a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) based manual to support understanding about regulations and guidance on the storing standards; and a satisfaction assessment form for the package, utilizing a 4-level rating scale from "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied." The investigation process went through 3 phases:
Phase 1: To explore problems on operating procedures, employees of Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) were interviewed about knowledge sharing within the organization. As a result, a standard operating manual is necessary to ensure efficient, accurate job performance. The most important methods to encourage knowledge sharing within the company include hands-on learning (100%) and the use of the knowledge-telling (56.25%).
Phase 2: A relevant computer- assisted instruction package was developed and tested with 16 personnel members, both executive and non-executive positions. The statistics used were mean and standard deviation. Respondents rating their overall satisfaction as 3.4 points out of 4.0 (highly satisfied).
Phase 3: The effectiveness of the CAI package was evaluated by the 16 study subjects. They considered the instruction package user-friendly, easy to understand and follow, thus making it an ideal and useful tool for novice employees.
