The research site, population, and sample are a local Thai privately-owned company, full-time employees of 1,300 (N), and actual respondents of 348 (n) selected by simple random sampling and voluntary basis. The research findings showed that adaptability (Beta=.255, Sig<.000, Rank1), team collaboration (Beta=.239, Sig.<.000, Rank 2) and communication (Beta=.130, Sig<.022, Rank3) as the independent variables that significantly influenced the business’ effectiveness The proposed recommendations for organization development comprise individual, team, and organization levels.
