Abstract:
This research aims to (a) study opinions about the management of borrowed working capital within the good governance framework in autonomous universities in Bangkok metropolitan and regional areas and (b) compare the aforementioned opinions as categorized by personal factors. Samples consisted of 33 executives from King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok and 15 executives from Thaksin University, totaling 48 executives. The opinions were obtained through a questionnaire. Data was statistically analyzed and displayed in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Hypothesis testing was performed using one-way analysis of variance. The questionnaire results showed that in every aspect and overall the executives of both universities had strong opinions about the management of borrowed working capital within the good governance framework. Three aspects with the highest means were the rule of law, principle of decentralization and effectiveness. The aspect with the lowest mean was the principle of participation. The hypothesis testing revealed that the executives of autonomous universities with different education background and work experience had significantly different opinions on the management of borrowed working capital within the good governance framework (p < 0.05).
