The layer of meaning is known as a similar meaning on consciousness and mind included the public consciousness, good conscious, and social consciousness.  In Buddhism known as sacrifice energy,merciful mind and intelligence for the benefit of society and the happiness of others as a consequence of a spiritual happiness when good deeds which filled with mental was calm, cool, and the forces to do good things. The public mind is the result of the evaluationto feature on attitudes, beliefs, values ​​and interests of the individual comments that cover choosing, social responsibility, without monetary, and beyond basic obligations.

Volunteerism exists in human since people design to do goodness. However, human obstacles such as failure, disrespectful, and insult interrupt a volunteering behavior. Trained mind to overcome the barricade is imperative to empower the construction of a conscious mind that were applied for educational institutes.

A social cognitive learning theory explains that personal goals, in turn, enhance organizational attainments directly via the mediation of analytic strategies. As managers begin to form a self-schema of their efficacy through further experience, the performance system is regulated more strongly and intricately through their self-conceptions of managerial efficacy. Although the relative strength of the constituent influences changes with increasing experience, these influences operate together as a triadic reciprocal control system (Robert Wood and Albert Bandura, 2013).

As, the interactionism model is a popular theory that was universal recognized that set a point of view causes of behavioral expression in different dimensions such as cause of mind, cause of state, and cause of co-influence or interaction between characteristics of mind and state on human behavioral pattern (NongnapasThiengkamol. (2012). According to public consciousness or public mind based on inspiration from insight is different from motivation is doesn’t need any reward. Inspiration of public consciousness might occur due to appreciation of a role model or idle, impressive events, notable situations, impressive environment, and media perceived (Thiengkamol, 2009a, Thiengkamol, 2009b, Thiengkamol, 2011a, &Thiengkamol, 2011e).
