Abstract:
The objectives of this quantitative research were 1) to examine the influence of
fundamental factors in digital technology on the current conditions of digital technology
and provide the Royal Thai Air Force civil servants with the guidelines for the use of digital
technology, 2) to investigate the influence of the current conditions on the Air Force Civil
Service Digital Technology Approach, and 3) to develop appropriate guidelines for the use
of digital technology of Air Force civil servants for Air Force affairs. The sample group
used in this research was 400 Air Force Civil Service officers in the central and provincial
areas. The research tool was a questionnaire. The sample group answered the
questionnaire 100%. The statistics used in the data analysis were 1) descriptive statistics
such as percentage, mean and standard deviation, and 2) hypothesis testing statistics
including Multiple Linear Regression. The hypothesis test yielded 224 influence equations.
In addition, it was found that a) the readiness of the backup system and the capacity to
recover all the data had the most significant influence on the current condition of the use
of digital technology (R2=.497), and b) the factor related to the development of the digital
technology used within the Air Force had the most significant influence on the approach
to digital technology (R2=.588). In terms of the current conditions of using digital
technology, it was found that the factor that had the most significant influence on the Air
Force Civil Service's approach to digital technology was the exchange of information
related to digital technology within the Air Force (R2=.380).
