Relationship between Attention-seeking and Work Performance of Employees in Bangkok and Vicinity

Abstract

The objectives of this research are (1) to study how different demographic characteristics affect attention-seeking factors and (2) to study the relationship between attention-seeking factors and the work performance of employees in Bangkok and the vicinity. The study population was employees in Bangkok and the vicinity, with 408 samples. Data collection tools were online questionnaires. Data descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis was applied to test the hypothesis in this study.  

From the results of demographic characteristics, the difference in sex does not impact all attention-seeking factors, but differences in age and education impact self-esteem, loneliness, fear of missing out, histrionic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. For narcissistic personality disorder, it was found that the difference in age impacts it, but the difference in education does not impact it. From the multiple regression analysis, it was found that the factors that had the most positive effect on employee performance were borderline personality disorder, followed by loneliness at a statistically significant level of 0.05. Fear of missing out had the most negative effect on employee work performance, followed by histrionic personality disorder at a statistically significant level of 0.05. Other aspects, including self-esteem and narcissistic personality disorder, did not find any significance in employee work performance.
