                                 and Govenment officials at Srinakharinwirot University

                   The objectives of this research were as follows to study visions toward information technology system
of administrators and government officials at Srinakharinwirot University (SWU)  including the relationship
among the paradigms the amount of information technology employed and the opinions about teamwork, the
visions toward information technology system and to compare the visions toward the above mentioned system
among those with different biosocial characteristics.  By disproportional stratified random samphing, 395 subjects
were selected from adminstrators and 
government  officials at SWU.  The instrument for collecting  the data was the 
questionnaire focusing on 5 variables - biosocial. the amount of information technology used, the opinions toward
teamwork, paradigms toward information technology and visions toward information technology system.  The
software package, SPSS/PC+. was used to compute basic statistics - percentage, mean (X), and standard deviation
(SD). It was also used to calculate the statistics for testing the thypotheses such as t-test, one-way analyhsis of
variance and analyzing the relationships by employing Pearson Correlation Coefficient. 

Research findings are as follows : 
                    1.  Both groups, administrators and government officials, had good visions toward information
technology system. 
                    2.  The relationships between subjects, paradigms toward information technology system and their
visions toward this system were significantly positive at .01 level ; these were found in groups - both groups,
administrators, and government officials, with correlation efficients of .906, .918 and .908 respectively. 
                     3.  No significant relationships were found between the amount of information  technology used and
the visions toward information technology system 
were found among the groups - both groups, administrators, and government officials. 
                     4.  The relationships between subjects' opinions toward teamwork and their visions  toward
information technology were found to be positively significant at .01 level 
for the groups - both groups, administrators and government officials, with correlation coefficients of  .365, .511
and .335 respectively. 
                     5.  No difference was found in terms of vision comparison toward information 
technology system between the groups of administrators and government officials with 
different biosocial characteristics including gender, educational level, years of working and work characteristics.
