This study aims to evaluate the impact of several factors on the continuance participation intention of service providers in the sharing economy business model, i.e. food delivery application (FDA) service.

Based on primary data collected from 282 service providers, this study used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to validate measurement scales and the proposed model.

The SEM analysis revealed that service providers’ intention to continue participating was influenced by perceived social benefit, perceived economic benefit and the corporate image of the service enabler. Notably, the relationship between perceived social benefit and continuance participation intention is moderated by the service enabler’s corporate image. Furthermore, this study identified four antecedents that impact on perceived benefit of service providers, namely, market attractiveness, and marketing capabilities of service enabler, delivery quality and customers’ positive affective response. However, the effect of marketing capabilities of the service enabler on perceived economic benefit was found to be irrelevant.

This study enriches the authors’ understanding of the factors that promote service providers’ intention to continue participating in the sharing economy business model, particularly within the context of FDAs. Based on the findings, the study offers both theoretical and practical implications for service enablers, policymakers and technology providers to enhance stakeholder engagement in the sharing economy business model.

This paper investigates the key determinants affecting household spending for university degree in Vietnam. This paper serves as empirical evidence for policymakers to select appropriate factors to estimate financial needs for university students in Vietnam.

We employ an innovative variable selection approach with adaptive LASSO for Tobit Regression Model.

The results suggest income, region and ethnicity play significant roles in determining higher education expenditure at Vietnamese households. Gender-related indicators (such as gender of household head, student’s gender), distance to school, occupations, etc. are empirically insignificant.

This study proposes a data-driven method by interfering regulation and Tobit regression to understand the divergence in higher education spending. Especially, adaptive LASSO was first introduced to identify key determinants of higher education expenditure at household level in Vietnam. It hopes to tackle over-fitting problems of traditional OLS regression in previous literature.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of servant leadership on frugal innovation through the mediating role of corporate social responsibility to employees.

This study used a quantitative research method and structural equation modeling to test hypotheses in the proposed research model based on a sample of 325 Vietnamese firms.

The research findings indicated that five dimensions of servant leadership including empowerment, humility, standing back, stewardship and authenticity are positively related to frugal innovation. Moreover, corporate social responsibility to employees partially mediates the connections between five servant leadership’s dimensions and frugal innovation.

This study provides important insights and a novel approach for leaders of Vietnamese small and medium-sized firms to improve their firms’ frugal innovation capability through leadership practice and corporate social responsibility to employees.

This study significantly fills research gaps in the literature and advances the understanding of how servant leadership promotes corporate social responsibility to employees to improve frugal innovation.
