Abstract:
This study aims to explore the decision to register a legal entity from the perspective of government agencies and logistics operators in Bangkok. The research assesses the service efficiency of 6 district offices under the Department of Business Development (DBD) using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It also examines the key decision-making factors for business registration using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). This is a quantitative study involving 24 participants; government agencies and logistics operators based in Bangkok. Data was collected from all 6 DBD offices through purposive sampling, using questionnaires. The results show that: 1) The number of respondents was equally split between government agencies and logistics operators. They mainly worked in transportation, warehousing, and business consulting services. All participants had more than seven years of experience. 2) The DEA results revealed that DBD District Offices 1, 3, and 5 were the most efficient. These offices had enough staff to handle services well, receiving the highest efficiency score of 1.000. 3) From both perspectives, the time required to complete the registration process (TI1) was the most important factor. Government officials gave it a weight of 0.08366, and business owners rated it at 0.060021. This factor affects business decisions and plays a key role in customer satisfaction with public services. The study concludes that the number of staff directly affects the service efficiency of government offices. Additionally, the top three factors that influence the decision to register a business are: Time required for registration (TI1), Ease of using the registration system (SY1), Documents required for registration (CO1). These factors are also important for government agencies when aiming to improve service quality.
