Abstract

This study aims to examine the interaction effects of educational levels and ranks of Thai military officers on political skills. Two-hundred self-administrated questionnaires called Political Skill Inventory (PSI) were distributed to both commissioned and non-commissioned military officers in a selected military unit by using simple random techniques. As of these numbers, only 176 questionnaires were returned with completion.The reliability of this scale showed a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85. The result of Two-way ANOVA shows no significant interaction between educational level and ranks of Thai military officers (Feducation*ranks (1,171) =.012, p>.05). For educational levels, the result shows no significant effect of educational levels on political skills of Thai military officers (Feducation (2,171) = .263, p>.05), indicating that political skills of Thai military officers are not dependent upon their educational levels. For ranks of Thai military officers, the finding also shows no significant effect of Thai military officers’ ranks on political skills (Franks (1,171) = .457, p>.05), indicating that political skills of Thai military officers are not dependent upon their ranks.
