Enhancing Data Privacy Compliance Through Logistics Service Quality: A Strategic Framework for Thailand’s Logistics SMEs

2025-06-30T16:52:32+07:00

This study investigates the causal relationships among logistics service quality (LSQ), customer confidence (CFD), and the intention to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand's logistics sector. It hypothesizes that customer confidence functions as a mediating variable linking LSQ and compliance intention. A mixed-methods research design was adopted. The quantitative phase involved data collection from 400 participants using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The qualitative phase comprised in-depth interviews with 30 executives and subject-matter experts, with data analyzed using thematic analysis.

Quantitative findings reveal that LSQ has a statistically significant positive influence on CFD, which, in turn, significantly affects the intention to comply with the PDPA. CFD is confirmed as a full mediator between LSQ and compliance intention. The model demonstrates excellent fit indices (CFI = 1.000, RMSEA = 0.000, GFI = 0.993). Qualitative results highlight key organizational development strategies, including PDPA training, data governance practices, cybersecurity integration, and the implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 standards. Based on the empirical evidence, this study proposes a three-step strategic framework to enhance PDPA compliance among SMEs: (1) optimizing logistics processes, (2) promoting transparency in data management, and (3) developing standardized procedures aligned with the law. This framework aims to foster customer trust and encourage sustained compliance, while supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 9, 12, and 16).

Intersecting Inequalities in Kenyan Education: A Bordieuan Lens on Economic, Social, and Cultural Capital

2025-06-20T19:41:50+07:00

This paper investigates how Pierre Bourdieu’s forms of capital, economic, social, and cultural intersect to shape educational outcomes among students in Kenya. Drawing from qualitative fieldwork conducted in both urban (Nairobi) and rural (Turkana/Bungoma) contexts, the study offers a comparative case analysis of how unequal distributions of these capitals influence academic trajectories. Using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, this research reveals that disparities in capital reinforce cycles of privilege and disadvantage within the Kenyan education system. Recommendations include equity-centered educational policies and localized interventions to recognize and support undercapitalized learners. The findings contribute to policy and scholarly discourse on education equity in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Youth Climate Action in Thailand: Participation, Strategies, International Linkages, and Policy Reform

2025-06-01T05:24:39+07:00

This study investigates the pivotal role of Thai youth in climate action, focusing on their participation strategies, international linkages, and contributions to sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), with a comparative analysis of Taiwan’s youth climate initiatives. Utilizing secondary data from policy documents and authoritative reports, the research examines how Thai youth, through movements like Fridays For Future Thailand (organizing 50+ climate strikes since 2019, mobilizing 3,000+ youth), drive sustainable practices in tourism and agriculture supply chains, such as local sourcing that reduces transport emissions (United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific [ESCAP], 2024). Yet, limited policy access (only 5% of Thailand’s NDC consultations include youth) restricts their influence (UNFCCC, 2022). Conversely, Taiwan’s Youth Climate Coalition (TWYCC) has trained 15,000 students since 2020, shaping renewable energy policies through curriculum-based advocacy and virtual COP simulations engaging 10,000+ youth annually, despite UNFCCC exclusion (Kuo, 2021; Huang, 2025). Taiwan’s structured model offers scalable strategies for Thailand, while Thailand’s community resilience informs Taiwan’s rural engagement. Grounded in environmental justice (Schlosberg, 2004) and SSCM frameworks (Carter & Rogers, 2008), the study underscores youth-driven innovations aligning with SDGs 8, 12, and 13. Findings advocate for Thailand to adopt Taiwan’s education model to amplify youth policy influence, while Taiwan can leverage Thailand’s grassroots approaches. Policy recommendations include establishing a National Youth Climate Council, funding green startups, and enhancing Thailand’s YOUNGO participation using Taiwan’s digital diplomacy. This research enriches environmental justice and SSCM literature, providing actionable insights for policymakers and businesses to foster youth-led climate-resilient supply chains in Thailand and beyond.
