Abstract

The purpose of the research is to examine what constitutes professionalism amongst Thai legal practitioners and consultants. By use of simple random-sampling, the 332 legal professionals were surveyed by use of a 72-item, 7-level Likert type agreement scale questionnaire on the study’s four constructs. A confirmatory factor analysis was run prior to the structural equation model, with analysis of the data undertaken by use of LISREL 9.10 software. The results showed that ethics was viewed as the most important aspect by Thai legal professionals (x = 5.71), which was only slightly ahead of the legal consultant’s experience (x = 5.64). Opposite to this however, the legal consultants’ themselves felt that client satisfaction (x = 4.95), and quick solutions (x = 4.84), had minimal importance. Overall results also showed that the latent variable of communications skills (0.67) was most important, followed by competency (0.33), and knowledge management (0.17).

泰国法律职业化的决定因素:结构方程模型分析

这项研究的目的是研究泰国法律从业人员和顾问之间的专业精神。采用简单随机抽样的方法，对332名法律专业人员进行了调查，采用了72项、7个层次的李克特式协议量表，对研究的四个构式进行了调查。在结构方程模型之前进行验证性因子分析，使用lisrel9.10软件对数据进行分析。结果显示，泰国法律专业人员认为道德是最重要的方面(x = 5.71)，仅略高于法律顾问的经验(x = 5.64)。然而，与此相反，法律顾问自己认为客户满意度(x = 4.95)和快速解决方案(x = 4.84)的重要性最低。整体结果还显示，沟通技巧(0.67)是最重要的潜在变量，其次是胜任力(0.33)和知识管理(0.17)。
