    Diversity, creative style and problem-solving : a discussion of outcome and organizational implications
    (Bangkok : Assumption University Press, 2022) Vorapot Rucktum ; Clapp, Ray
    If innovative change is followed by more innovation, costs tend to rise, and the organisation moves towards a more chaotic form. The opposite occurs where innovation is avoided, adaptive ideas predominate, and organisations move towards a more predictable form with low differentiation between competitors. By continuing with either style to the point where profitability is affected, the organisation moves towards the lower end of performance ranking for the sector albeit by different routes. To avoid this position, it is necessary to have enough stylistic diversity available to the team or the organisation to both generate ideas and make decisions that offer a situational advantage. Without such diversity, a diminishing organisational performance can be expected.

    Enhancing psychological capital and organizational commitment to reduce teachers' job burnout through organizational development intervention
    (Bangkok : Assumption University, 2023) Shi, Jin ; Vorapot Rucktum
    As the biggest occupational hazard in the 21st century, job burnout has become a “chronic killer” of teachers’ physical and mental health. The research adopts action research as a research method and non-randomized control group and experimental group samples are used for comparison, quantitative and qualitative data were used to measure and analyze the impacts of organizational development intervention (ODI) on psychological capital (PC), organizational commitment (OC), and teachers’ job burnout (JB). In the ODI stage, researchers try to develop PC and OC through career planning and development, appreciative inquiry, and team building to help teachers improve their ability to deal with JB. The results of post-ODI stage demonstrated that the teachers’ JB in experimental group decreased significantly, PC and OC have a negative correlation with teachers’ JB. Without any interventions, the control group did not significantly improve between the pre-ODI and post-ODI stages. This research supports the effects of PC and OC on teachers’ JB through ODI.
