A Causal Model of the Future Government in Thailandusing Ten Perfectioned Buddhist Leadership

Abstract

The purpose of this research article were 1)  to study charismatic leadership and key success factors affecting the future government in Thailand, 2) to study Ten Perfections ( Paramis ) as Buddhist principle  encouraging the future government in Thailand, and 3) to develop and  propose  a causal model of the future government in Thailand using Ten Perfectioned Buddhist leadership. The research data were supported by government’s various data such asNational Strategy, Government 4.0 policy, reports, published research and other related documents. This research article was analyzed by content analysis and analyticinduction. The result showed that a causal model of Ten Perfectioned Buddhist leadership for public sector future governmentconsisted of two exogenous latent variables,which were charismatic leadership and key success factors; and two endogenous latent variables, which were the future government in Thailand and Buddhist Ten Perfections or Paramis.Ten Perfections consist of the perfection ofgiving, the perfection of morality, the perfection of renunciation, the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of energy, the perfection of patience, the perfection of truthfulness, the perfection of resolution, the perfection of loving-kindness and the perfection of equanimity. They can apply for the model of the future government in Thailand using Ten Perfectioned Buddhist leadership. This developed model is the first step for further quantitative research to validate the model with empirical data for the application of Ten Perfectioned Buddhist leadership for the future government in Thailand.
