The attitudes toward writing English at workplace among loss prevention & security retail officer
Abstract:
Business writing is one of the most essential skills for Thai officers. This study regarding the attitudes toward written English sought to reveal how Thai officers feel about English writing and which strategies they use when experiencing difficulties in writing. The objectives of this study were to explore the respondents attitudes toward their writing ability in English and how they managed problems when writing in English at the headquarters of a retail business. Fifty respondents who were security officers at the head office of a hypermarket chain, 24 males and 26 females, were included in this study. The results showed that the three most common attitudes and abilities with respect to English writing were English writing is a fundamental skill everyone should have (mean = 4.5), writing in English language is one of the most important skills required in the company (mean = 4.06), and they feel that they can be a good writer if they practice writing regularly (mean = 4.00), respectively. The three most common strategies were using Google translation (mean=4.20), finding words in a text or dictionary (mean= 3.48) and asking somebody for help (mean 3.36), respectively. This study might benefit the Human Resource Training department as they can use the results to apply or develop training courses for all employees, which will help them improve their knowledge and ability with regard to English writing skills
