A total of 30 people were selected as a sampling group (purposive sam- pling) for this study, these included Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Bangkok with expertise in Human Performance Technology (HPT), as well as the MOOCs knowledge repository system. The mean, standard deviation, per- centage, and a dependent sample t-test were used in the procedure for data anal- ysis. The research findings suggested that: (1) the overall result concerning the development of a MOOCs knowledge repository system using a digital knowledge engineering process was at the highest level (Mean = 4.89, S.D. = 0.31), and (2) the overall result regarding the competencies of digital entrepreneurs after engaging in a MOOCs knowledge repository system using a digital knowledge engineering process passed the 80% rating, according to criteria. Moreover, learners who had undertaken activities through a MOOCs knowledge repository system using a digital knowledge engineering process improved their learning outcomes with a significance level of .05 based on the research hypothesis.

According to studies, the result showed that the progress towards environmental sustainability has been largely achieved while the goals of social and economic development were marked as displaying very slow progress, in particular, social sustainability in connection with reducing social inequalities and a more equal society such as income, education or resources. As a result, multiple changes have taken place in the roles of higher educational institutions in Thailand. Not only do universities have a role in preparing their graduates for the iJEP ‒ Vol. 11, No. 6, 2021 85
