Abstract
The current study aims to: 1) analyze the confirmation factor of the risk of internet threat on operational staff in industrial business in Rayong Province, and 2) verify the consistency between the confirmation factor of the risk of internet threat on operational staff in industrial business in Rayong Province and the empirical data. The sample was purposively selected, accounting for 263 participants. The instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of six components with the internal validity of 0.95. The data was analyzed with AMOS. The results of the first order CFA showed that all indices meet the fit indices criteria (CMIN = 76.23, CMIN/DF = 1.29, p-value = 0.06, CFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.93, RMR = 0.03, SRMR = 0.03 and RMSEA = 0.03), factor loading ranged from 0.44 to 0.87, p = .01. The results of the second order CFA also showed that all indices meet the fit indices criteria (CMIN = 69.05, CMIN/DF = 1.23, p-value = 0.11, CFI = 0.99, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.93, RMR = 0.03, SRMR = 0.04 and RMSEA = 0.03), the factor loading ranged from 0.22 to 0.96, p = .01. The components with the factor loading ranging from the highest to the lowest included: Security, Cyberbully, Awareness, Motivation, Knowledge and Behavior, respectively. The results of this study can be applied for improving the prevention of internet threats on the operational staff of industrial business.
