  • Purpose: The aim of this study is to study and analyze the confirmatory factor of the model of factors influencing sustainability of chemical industry in Thailand and to examine the harmonization of the confirmatory factor of the model of factors influencing sustainability of chemical industry in Thailand   Theoretical Framework: The study “Structural Equation Model of Factors Influencing Sustainability of Chemical Industry in Thailand”, the researcher has researched from related research and various online information. This is to be able to define a more comprehensive and clearer conceptual framework that will guide the study. These include theories and concepts of sustainability, change leadership, organizational culture, and corporate social responsibility.

      Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 317 responses were collected from the chemical industry in Thailand using a multi-stage sampling technique while AMOS has been employed for data analysis to analyze variance and covariance by applying this technique to Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to check the harmony, accuracy, or consistency of the gauge construction.
