Background
Organizations today want to increase their business growth and a competitive advantage over time, by
using available resources to achieve the desired goals, quality employees are considered important resources able
to create an advantage for the organization. It must be connecting employees to the corporate values and
employees’ commitment to the organization also. Current situation of many organizations in Thailand will tend
to employees resigning from the organization, or change to other occupations. It is causing losses to such
organizations, because of the cost and wasting time training employees with knowledge, ability, expertise, and
experience. The resignation of the employee's is considered a burden and cost of the company, because the
company invested in the development of that person. In terms of the impact on the organization, it will lose the
cost of recruiting, selecting, training, and developing new employees. In addition, during the recruitment process,
people came to replace those who resigned, the productivity and efficiency of the organization will be reduced for
a while due to insufficient personnel for the work process, and if any organization has a high staff turnover rate,
it will make the organization lack stability, organization may has internal problems, and if the person who resigns
from the organization is a skilled staff and high ability, it will affect the operation of the organization and may
cause damage, also destroying the spirit and encouragement of the person who is still in the organization. Minth
