ABSTRACT:

The objectives of this research were 1. To study the problems and needs of self-reading water supply units for consumers, 2. To develop an innovative prototype application for self-reading water supply units for consumers and 3. To study the factors affecting the acceptance of an innovative prototype application for self-reading of water supply units for consumers. This research methodology was quantitative. Data was collected from 418 users of the Provincial Waterworks Authority at Om Noi branch by systematic sampling method. The tool used was a questionnaire. Data analyzed with descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation with a statistical significance of .05 in hypothesis testing. The results from hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression analysis revealed that system quality, ease of use, and system performance affected the acceptance of an innovative prototype application for self-reading of water supply units for consumers at 65.8. % testing the independent variables not affect the variable was system quality (Sig. = .066) the factors of ease of use (Sig. = .006) and efficiency (Sig. = .000) which were less than .05 revealed that ease of use and efficiency had a positive influence. However, system quality did not significantly influence application acceptance for the Provincial Waterworks Authority. The results of the acceptance of an innovative prototype application for self-reading of water supply units for consumers can be considered practical according to the purpose of serving water users of the Provincial Waterworks Authority. The research results were as follows: 1) an innovative application prototype for managing foreign workers of ABC Company requires use of a variety of languages including Thai, English and Myanmar. Functions have been added to support the comprehensive service of foreign workers, and information about foreign workers in public health that is useful to the government and foreign workers. 2) The study of factors affecting the acceptance of the innovation model for managing foreign workers of ABC Company found that the aspect that had the greatest effect was the safety risk perception factor, followed by the condition of the facilities in use, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using technology, social influence and the perception of benefits from use. These were statistically significant at the .05 level.
