Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: (1) examine the levels of employee empowerment, employee needs, work-life balance, and organizational commitment; and (2) investigate the factors affecting organizational commitment among personnel in property management businesses under the Thai Property Management Association. The sample consisted of 400 personnel selected from a population of 1,600 employees in property management businesses under the Thai Property Management Association. The sample size was determined using Yamane's formula (1973) with an error margin of .05. The research instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire with a reliability coefficient exceeding .70. The statistical techniques employed for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were female, aged between 40 and 49 years, worked at the operational level, and had 6–10 years of work experience. Overall, employee empowerment, employee needs, work-life balance, and organizational commitment were found to be at a high level. The hypothesis testing results indicated that the employee empowerment factors, including meaningfulness of work, resources and procedures, and organizational trust, significantly affected organizational commitment at the .05 level. Employee needs factors, comprising the need for affiliation, the need for power, and the need for achievement, also significantly influenced organizational commitment at the .05 level. Furthermore, work-life balance factors, including work-life harmony and the integration of personal and work roles, significantly affected organizational commitment at the .05 level.
