Abstract
The works of the International Studies of Values in Politics, Straussman (1985), Williams (1979) and Muthayya and Gananakanna (1973) serve as a basis for the research hypotheses of this study that socioeconomic characteristics and perceived personnel practices are related to development-orientedness, ethics, problems and causes of problems faced by new faculty. Upon testing of the hypotheses, it was found that some socioeconomic characteristics and perceived personnel practices are related to some dimensions of development-orientedness, ethics, and some problems and causes of problems. Also found are some problem resolutions resulting from open-ended questionnaire items. These research findings together with those from the 2004 project, titled Analysis of New Faculty Socialization in Thai Public Universities, are beneficial for both academic and practical undertakings.
