ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The concept of organizational effectiveness is one of the most complex issues in organizational management literature. The difficulties are ranging from finding an appropriate definition to selecting criteria of effectiveness. The definition in one setting and one set of criteria may not apply to another setting (Georgopoulos & Tannenbaum, 1957).. Therefore, there are several definitions from various scholars that have both similarities and dissimilarities.

Georgopoulos & Tannenbaum (1957) defines


organizational effectiveness as the degree to which an organization that is perceived as a social system fulfills its objectives without incapacitating its means and resources. Moreover, Katz and Khan (1971) define it in terms of maximization of return to society and the survival and growth of state enterprise. Similarly, Price (1972) who refers it to the maximization of return to the organization by economic and technical means, and by political means, or the return to society in a higher view. Pfeffer and Salancik (1982) defined it as the ability of organization in creating acceptable outcomes and actions..

Several scholars have presented different key Thirdly, the contingency school highlights that the streams of leadership theories. appropriate style of leader is depended on the (Day & Antonakin, 2012; Heifetz, 1994). requirements of the specific situation (e.g. Fiedler, 1967, 1971; Kerr & Jermier, 1978). Firstly, the characteristics of leader as referred to a great man are concerned in the trait school The fourth stream is the relational school which during the 20th century (e.g. Mann, 1959; focuses more on the relationship between Stogdill, 1948; Bass, 1990). leaders and followers (e.g. Dansereau, Graen & Haga, 1975; Graen & UhlThe second school is the behavioral school which Bien, 1995). behavioral styles of leaders are focused (e.g. Lewin & Lippitt, 1938; Stogdill & Coons, 1957; The recent stream of leadership theories is the new Katz, Maccoby, Gurin & Floor, 1951). leadership school

Trait School of Leadership
The scientific study of leadership has begun to take place. The influence came from the work of Galton (1869), who has identified characteristics,

Contingency School of Leadership


This school of leadership study seeks to involve characteristics and behaviors leader and situational factors in relating to achievements and outcomes. Fiedler is the one of major movers in this school through his works in 1967 and 1971. The model developed by Fiedler allows leaders to diagnose both leadership style and organizational situation called Fiedlers contingency model.

The extension of trait approach failed to satisfy many scholars in the field. Scholars tended to pay more attention on leaders behaviors rather than traits of leader in which can be accessible (Daft, 1999) There are case studies of Ohio State University and University of Michigan

The New Leadership School


Based on the works of Burn, 1978 and House, 1977, Bass has developed the framework that focuses on both transformational and transactional leadership

Learning Organization
Organizational scholars have paid attention on conceptualization of the learningorganization by defining, identifying and describing it such as Senge, 1990; Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995; Marquardt & Reynold, 1994; Garvin, 1993).

Learning Organization
It is in line with Garvin (1993) who also defined it asorganizational skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge and insights. In Thailand, Panich (2002) also gives a definition of learning organization that the concept of organizational development that emphasizes the leadership and team learning enabling knowledge transfer and learning organization is a dynamic process that allows organization to obtain effectiveness. In this study, learning organization is referred to the ability of a workforce in an organization to learn faster than those in other organizations constitute the only sustainable competitive advantage.

First Senge (2006) defined as a learning organization as where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire and where people are continually learning how to learn together.
Similarly to Guthrie (1996) who defined it as an organization where through learning individuals are continually re-perceiving and reinterpreting their world and their relationship to it.

Reliability and Validity


The tools
used in this study are well developed by scholars. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ; Bass & Avolio, 1990), The Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ; Watkins & Marsick, 1993), The Dimensions of Organizational Culture/Climate Survey (DOCS; Denison et al., 1996), The competing values framework (CVF; Quinn & Rohrbaugh , 1983; Kalliath et al., 1999) All parts will be measured by 7-point Likert scales (1 equal to strongly disagree, 7 equal to strongly agree). Permission from the authors of these instruments may be required

Pretest

the pretest will assist researcher to obtain a reliable questionnaire by informing researcher as to what need to be changed in the elements of questionnaire (Gray, 2009). In conducting pretest, 30 samples will be selected to test the reliability. All the scale questions will be tested by using Cronbach alpha, a well developed statistical test for measuring reliability of the scale.

Reliability and Validity


Validity and Reliability According to Pallant (2007), the validity of scale refers to the degree to which it measures what it is supposed to measure while reliability of scale indicates how free it is from random error that will yield consistent results. For the reliability test, Nunnally (1978 cited in Pallant, 2007) suggests a test of Cronbach alpha which should have a minimum level of 0.7 values.

Validity and Reliability

For the validity tests, Content validity the degree to which a measure or scale represents all facets of a given domain of content. Construct validity the measurement of abstract concepts and traits whether they have a consistent manner among multiple indicators.

Topics:

Data Collection and Data Analysis


Data Collection Method and Instrument
The data used in this study will be collected based on Cross-Sectional approach which will take place during February-May 2014. In collecting data process, this study will involve three steps. Firstly, the research will be sent to the committee for approval and the official letters from both the school and the PTT Public Company Limited will be requested. Secondly, the list of potential respondents will be made. Finally, all questionnaires will be distributed to selected PTTs affiliated companies and the monitoring procedures will be set.

Data Analysis

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Research Design Unit of Analysis Population and Sample Operational Definition Reliability and Validity Data Collection Data Analysis Ethical Considerations

Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) program will be used to analyze both descriptive and inferential statistics. In terms of descriptive statistics, the study will describe either the characteristics of a sample or the relationship among variables in a sample (Babbie, 2010). It includes frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation of a sample. To address the hypotheses of the study, correlation coefficients and Multiple Regressions will be utilized to test the relationship between two variables and to determine the predictor for organizational effectiveness regarding the independent variables.

Data analysis
Data Analysis (Contd)

Another issue concerned in the data analysis part is about the statistical assumptions including missing data, outliers, normality, homoscedasticity, linearity, multicollinearity and independence of observation.

The violation of these assumptions cannot lead the study to generate valid conclusions.

Ethical Considerations
First
Consent letter will be made and sent to respondents or their superior before interviewing period

Second

The purposes of the study will be clearly informed to each respondents and written in the first part of all questionnaires The voluntary of considered respondents will also be

In collecting data
The certain types of information such as material status, income or even age and the like will be regarded as confidential and sensitive, then they will be carefully used to avoid the matter of invasion of privacy Incentive will be provided to respondents who are willing to share information as they are giving their time

Issue related to researcher


Bias on the part of research will be regarded as an unethical practice: Selecting a highly biased sample Using an inappropriate instrument Drawing wrong conclusion Potential use of the information will be Informed to avoid adverse effect
