Description This research aims at investigating factors affecting the labor demand on frozen seafood entrepreneurs in order to promote employment suitability and  working  motivation. The study may benefit the government sector to identify and  specify suitable criteria that may help strengthen the entrepreneurs in terms of their employment efficiencies for the  frozen seafood business in the south of Thailand. The data collection included the in-depth interviews from the executive officers and office workers in 23 workplaces.            The findings showed that the business factors that affected the labor demand  for the frozen seafood business were the purchasing volumes and the use of raw materials. The important issues of the labor factor included labor shortages, low payment, and the personal behaviors of workers and the collaboration with government officers.  These problems prompted the increased need of foreign labor which may cause long-term problems. To solve these problems, the study suggested that compensatory package schemes and labor loyalty strategies be needed and developed as the labor management guidelines to strengthen the administration for the business.
