ABSTRACT: It is a
purpose of this work to figure out engagement level of the employees of
Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI), a public organization owned by the
Government of Thailand. We used a questionnaire survey to explore the issue.
Another useful point of interest is employees’ perception of organization
achievement. So, we launched a 3-part questionnaire to inquire personal
information, level of engagement, and perception of achievement. SPSS package
was used to analyze the results. It is found that the level of engagement of
our employees at large is high. According to the employees’ job functions,
different groups of employees have different sub-group norms. Scientists and
researchers are engaged in creative and challenging jobs; engineers, technicians, and safety
personnel are engaged to team, well-planned jobs, success, and reputation;
back-office staff are engaged to well-planned jobs, accountability, and
ethicality. Accordingly, scientists and researchers perceive the institute as a
learning organization (LO), as an effective and efficient factory line for
engineers and technicians, and as a high performance organization (HPO) for
back-office staff.
