The sample consisted of 168 professional nurses at Sakon Nakhon Hospital. The research instrument was a questionnaire divided into three parts: 1) a questionnaire on personal factors, 2) a questionnaire on selected factors influencing the perception of a high performing organization, and 3) a questionnaire on the perception of a high performing organization. Content validity was checked by five experts, yielding content validity coefficients of 1.00, 0.94, and 0.97, respectively. Reliability was checked using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, yielding values ​​of 0.91 and 0.98, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

             The results revealed that: 1) the overall perception of high performance organization among registered nurses at Sakon Nakhon Hospital was at a high level (  = 4.13, S.D. = 0.41). 2) Personal factors had no relationship with being a high-performing organization (P > 0.05). 3) Selected factors, namely work environment, organizational support, adaptive organizational culture, and participation, had a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.54, r = 0.52, r = 0.57, r = 0.63, respectively, p < 0.001) with being a high-performing organization as perceived by professional nurses at Sakon Nakhon Hospital. 4) Participation and work environment factors together could predict 46.0% of the variance in being a high performing organization as perceived by professional nurses at Sakon Nakhon Hospital (R²  = 0.46, p < 0.001).
