Abstract

In an era of relentless market volatility, achieving sustainable competitive advantage relies heavily on cultivating intangible organizational capabilities. This study investigates the combined influence of leadership, teamwork, and organizational culture on managerial success within private companies in Lower Northern Thailand. Grounded in the resource-based view (RBV), this research addresses the empirical gap regarding these human-centered dimensions in regional, resource-constrained business environments. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, primary data were collected from 400 employees across five provinces and analyzed using multiple regression models. Empirical findings reveal that leadership, teamwork, and organizational culture are statistically significant, positive predictors of managerial success. Notably, transformational leadership, team effectiveness, and work quality emerged as the most potent drivers, with the integrated model explaining 86.7% of the variance in performance. These results underscore that synergistic integration of visionary leadership, collaborative structures, and adaptive cultural norms directly compensates for tangible resource limitations. The study theoretically extends the RBV paradigm and offers actionable insights for cultivating resilient organizational systems to achieve sustainable competitiveness.
