        This research aims to 1) study the application of the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadham in personnel work 2) to compare the application of the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadham in personnel work classified by personal factors 3) to study the guidelines for applying the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadham in personnel work effectively. The researcher used a mixed research design using quantitative research and qualitative research. The population included: Personnel of the Sub-district Administrative Organization, Phu Wiang District, Khon Kaen Province, 400 people, by finding the appropriate sample group by opening the sampling table of Krejcie and Morgan, got a sample of 201 people and used the sampling technique of stratified random sampling and convenience random sampling and interviewed 5 executives of the Sub-district Administrative Organization, Phu Wiang District, Khon Kaen Province using the purposive random sampling technique. The data were collected from April 2016 to March 2017. The research instruments were questionnaires and interviews. Data were analyzed by finding frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test (Independence Samples) and one-way analysis of variance (One Way ANOVA) and comparing the differences of the mean in pairs using the least significant difference method (Least Significant Difference: LSD.)
        The research results found that:
        1.The use of the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadham in the work of personnel under the sub-district administrative organization in Phu Wiang District, Khon Kaen Province, both overall and in each aspect, was at a high level (mean= 4.83). In each aspect, the highest to lowest average values were as follows: Arakkhasampatha (maintaining goodness) (mean = 4.85), Kalyanamittata (good friends) (mean = 4.84), Samajivata (living a simple life) (mean = 4.82), and Uthansampatha (diligence in earning) (mean = 4.80).
        2.Personnel with different genders, ages, education, positions, and years of service did not differ in the use of the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadham in the work of personnel under the sub-district administrative organization in Phu Wiang District, Khon Kaen Province, which did not correspond to the hypothesis. Except for personnel of different ages, they use the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadhamma in terms of protection and sampada differently.
        3.The guidelines for developing work performance according to the principle of Ditthadhammikatthasangwattanikadhamma are: In terms of diligence, executives should organize training to develop the potential of staff to be able to work efficiently. In addition, personnel should be diligent and adjust their work methods to be up-to-date and of maximum benefit. In terms of good maintenance, executives should create awareness for personnel to help take care of and maintain government property and know how to use available resources to benefit the government the most in a worthwhile and economical way. In terms of good friends, executives should take into account the teamwork of the agency. Personnel are those who serve the public and are those who have good human relations in providing services and coordinating, and can complete work according to the objectives. In terms of living a sufficient life, executives should provide advice by practicing and applying the philosophy of the Sufficiency Economy of His Majesty the King in their daily lives.
