This study aims to examine and explain the effects of perceived workplace spirituality, perceived teamwork and personality on faculty members’ community academic service performance (CASP). An explanatory sequential mixed methods research design was employed. In the quantitative phase, the sample consisted of 390 faculty members from 38 Rajabhat Universities in Thailand, and the data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. Subsequently, in the qualitative phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 faculty members to further explain the quantitative findings, and the interview data were analysed using content analysis. The results revealed that personality had a significant positive effect on CASP, while perceived workplace spirituality and perceived teamwork had no significant effect on CASP. However, perceived workplace spirituality and perceived teamwork had indirect effects on CASP through personality. The study sheds light on organisational management so that the executives and staff are aware of how to promote a desirable environment in workplaces, which includes workplace spirituality and teamwork in such a way that the faculty members can express personalities appropriate to community academic service.
