Two hundred and five (205) questionnaires were returned from all four cities in central Isaan cluster distributed from August to the middle of September 2018.
The descriptive statistic results showed that the majority of the informants were female (69.3%) and worked in Roi-Et (46.8%) and in Agricultural business (28.8%). Majority of them were working in level of operation staff (63.4%). To consider the most activities preferences of populations are Transformational HR. According to the inferential statistic by hypothesis testing, there was significant difference between the adopting tactical vs. strategic HR practice in term of various industries. Other hypotheses that were tested confirmed that the input factors, which were Traditional, Transactional and Transformational HR positive relationship with each other. However, two out of three (traditional and transformational HR) are led to the firm’s HR practice effectiveness. And not only factors attached in transformation HR but traditional HR activities have also positive influence on Strategic HR practice.
