Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the impact of learning organization (LO) on job satisfaction and individual performance in Vietnamese enterprises. The study further explores the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between learning organization and employee performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 653 employees from various types of organizations in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling was implemented to test the hypotheses.

Findings

The results revealed that the proposed research model was supported. Results indicated that LOs positively influenced employees’ job satisfaction and the broader range of their individual performance. In addition, employees’ job satisfaction motivated them to achieve higher performance levels. The study also found a mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between LO and employee performance. The results underscore the importance of implementing an LO culture for individual outcomes such as job satisfaction and employee performance in the Vietnamese cultural context, which is based on socialism and Confucianism.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationships among LO, job satisfaction and individual employee performance in the Vietnamese context. The results offer a deeper understanding of the LO concept in the Vietnamese cultural context and highlight the cultural impact on the LO concept and its effects. The results suggest how the LO concept is applied in the Vietnamese context.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which the concept of learning organization can support the embedding of responsible innovation (RI) in organizations.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on literature in the fields of corporate social responsibility, learning organizations and quadruple helix collaborations, the authors constructed the responsible learning organization (RLO) framework for RI. With the framework, the authors want to show that the RLO can enable RI within organizations.

Findings

Based on this framework, the distinction is made between, on the one hand, the learning processes inside the organization, which resemble reflexivity, and, on the other hand, the learning processes that take place with stakeholders outside the organization, which resemble the other three core processes of RI: anticipation, inclusion and responsiveness. Based on these insights, the authors argue that if an organization wants to do good on innovation, which is seen as the core of RI, organization’s core values should guide that.

Practical implications

Organizational core values should be developed by means of learning inside the organization. Therefore, the process of reflexivity should be stressed more, and employees should be empowered to take part in developing these values, which in return can guide the organization as a compass through all the uncertainty it will encounter during the learning outside the organization when interacting with stakeholders.

Originality/value

The RLO framework for RI shows what learning processes organizations should facilitate first and what content should be at stake during these learning processes to embed RI. Furthermore, the framework puts emphasis on reflexivity as a condition for responsiveness, inclusion and anticipation.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to assess the validity and utility of two theoretical approaches to understanding the relationship between strategic orientations, innovation and firm performance and to examine the role of innovation in the relationship while avoiding circular arguments. The universalistic approach suggests that strategic orientations have independent and parallel effects on firms’ performance, and that innovation does not influence this relationship. The holistic approach proposes that strategic orientations in a complementary and interrelated view have both direct and indirect effects on firms’ performance through innovation.

Design/methodology/approach

A meta-analytic path analysis applying two-stage structural equation modeling (TSSEM) was conducted on data from 132 primary studies and 33,063 observations.

Findings

The holistic approach was demonstrated to be superior due to its more explanatory power in linking more complex relationships through simultaneous direct and indirect effects and its capacity for including the interrelatedness and complementarity of strategic orientations. It was found that innovation has a full mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm performance, and a partial mediating role in the relationship between market orientation (MO) and learning orientation (LO) and firm performance.

Research limitations/implications

The study used observed variables instead of latent variables for meta-analytic path analysis, which may reduce some sources of endogeneity. However, causal inference is not possible due to the nature of meta-analysis. The scope of the final sample was limited by some studies not reporting the estimates of correlations between constructs.

Practical implications

Managers can improve an organization's chances of success in the marketplace by adopting a holistic view of strategic orientations focusing on customer satisfaction, learning from the external environment and pursuing new market opportunities. Furthermore, an organization can gain a competitive advantage through innovation by creating products and services that are different from what is currently available in the market. To be successful, an organization must not only create innovative products and services but also market them effectively to consumers.

Originality/value

This study is the first to meta-analytically assess the explanatory value of two theorized models linking strategic orientations, innovation and firm performance. It also clarifies the role of innovation in the relationship between strategic orientations and firm performance.

Abstract

Purpose

Drawing from agency and comprehension theories, this paper aims to examine the influence of annual report readability (ARR) on financial reporting quality (FRQ), with a focus on how information asymmetry moderates this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses a sample of 467 listed firms in Vietnam from 2015 to 2021. To analyze the relationship between ARR and FRQ, this paper employs a Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) regression, incorporating information asymmetry as a moderating factor.

Findings

The research findings show that ARR has a positive and significant impact on the FRQ of Vietnamese-listed firms. This paper also finds that information asymmetry significantly and partially moderates the relationship between ARR and FRQ. Specifically, ARR can help alleviate the level of information asymmetry and contributes to improved FRQ.

Practical implications

From a practical perspective, this paper provides empirical evidence for managers, investors and related government departments to evaluate the effects of ARR and offers regulators a method to help improve the transparency of the stock market. More importantly, the results of this study have reference value for scholars and practitioners in developing countries like Vietnam.

Originality/value

From a theoretical perspective, our study adds to the growing literature on ARR, expands the scope of ARR research, elaborates on relevant economic consequences of ARR and complements the literature on the determinants of FRQ.

Abstract

Purpose

The study examines the factors contributing to young consumers’ preloved clothing purchase intention and behavior.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was collected from 301 respondents using quantitative methodology. PLS Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was performed to test hypotheses. The study extends the Theory of Reasoned Action by incorporating the Value-Belief-Norm theory to explore environmental consciousness in sustainable behaviors. It integrates public self-consciousness in the relationship of purchase intention with purchase behavior and employs Multi-Group Analysis to compare existing-consumers' purchase intentions with those of new-consumers.

Findings

Consumers prioritizing environmental consciousness, frugality and subjective norms have higher preloved purchase intentions. Purchase intention mediates the relationship between environmental consciousness, subjective norms and purchase behavior. Consumers with high public self-consciousness tend to follow through with their purchase intentions. Moreover, price-conscious existing-consumers of preloved clothing have higher re-purchase intentions.

Research limitations/implications

Marketers and policymakers aiming to promote sustainable fashion could leverage environmental consciousness, price consciousness and societal pressures in awareness campaigns. Moreover, the study underscores the significance of public self-consciousness and prior preloved purchases in determining future consumption.

Originality/value

The study advances the understanding of the unexplored behaviors of young preloved clothing consumers in Pakistan, the second largest importer of preloved clothes and an under-researched market for such consumption. By integrating public self-consciousness and prior preloved purchases in the TRA framework, the study contributes to limited research exploring the role of individual traits and preferences in influencing sustainable fashion consumption.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) disclosures among Vietnamese listed firms and identify key influencing factors.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors analyse SDG-related disclosures of the top 100 listed firms by market capitalisation on the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh stock exchanges as of December 31, 2023, using an established reporting methodology. Data were sourced from annual, corporate governance, ESG, financial and sustainability reports. A regression model was used to examine factors influencing SDG disclosure.

Findings

SDG disclosure among Vietnamese firms is relatively low. Corporate governance, firm size, government ownership, industry and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) usage positively influence disclosure levels, while auditing firm type and firm age show a negative association. Financial firms tend to use sustainable development reports and GRI indicators more frequently.

Practical implications

Practically, strengthening governance frameworks and promoting GRI adoption can improve the quality and extent of sustainability reporting among Vietnamese firms. Socially, enhanced SDG disclosure supports improved corporate practices that align with the United Nations SDGs, fostering a more sustainable and transparent economy in Vietnam.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study examining SDG disclosure and influencing factors in Vietnamese listed (2021–2023), using the GRI (2016) standard. This study contributes to transparency in Vietnam’s financial markets and sustainability practices, offering insights for preparers and policymakers.

Abstract

Purpose

This study investigates the impact of religious orientation and patriotism on domestic tourists’ intention to revisit spiritual destinations through two distinct studies: (1) religious sites and historical landmarks and (2) cultural heritage locations.

Design/methodology/approach

Using convenience sampling, Study 1 (religious orientation) collected data from 445 Vietnamese tourists, and Study 2 (patriotism) collected data from 492 Vietnamese tourists. Spiritual elements were examined through social identity theory (SIT) and patriotism through the theory of reasoned action (TRA). The cognitive-affective-behavioral (CAB) model serves as the framework for both analyses. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.

Findings

Both patriotism and religious orientation had a positive indirect impact on domestic tourists’ intention to return. While attitudes toward development served as the sole mediator between patriotism and revisit intention, multiple factors mediated the relationship between religious orientation and revisit intention.

Practical implications

Religious marketing campaigns can enhance the destination image of churches and temples, thereby strengthening domestic tourists’ intention to revisit. Programs emphasizing patriotism should be organized to encourage the intention to revisit cultural and historical heritage sites.

Originality/value

This study on spirituality tourism conducted a comparative analysis of two case studies by focusing on the interplay between religious orientation and patriotism regarding revisiting intention by employing frameworks of the SIT, TRA and CAB models. It enriches the existing literature and theoretical foundations of spiritual tourism and provides valuable insights for local policymakers by highlighting the distinctions between the effects of religion and patriotism.

Abstract

Purpose

Consumers nowadays are no longer bystanders in the process of production but are proactive collaborators with the power to co-create value with brands. This study aims to explore the impact of social commerce on the co-creation process of brand value in a social commerce setting.

Design/methodology/approach

A questionnaire survey was conducted online to gather 300 eligible responses. The data were empirically validated using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method.

Findings

The results indicated that brand engagement (BEN) is vital to brand co-creation (BCC) in social commerce, which could be driven by social-hedonic value (SHV) and social information sharing (SIS).

Research limitations/implications

This study stresses the influence of consumer autonomy in the process of BCC by probing the role of SIS. Moreover, by considering the prevailing trend in social media, this study offers a nuanced perspective on the values of social commerce from the viewpoint of SHV.

Practical implications

This study may serve as a useful guide for practitioners to improve their digital outreach strategy on social commerce to forge stronger relationships, encourage further engagements and promote value co-creation within their brand community.

Originality/value

This examines the effect of relationship quality (RQU) and BEN on BCC through a relational viewpoint.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of transformational leadership (TL) on tacit and explicit knowledge sharing (KS) of teachers through the mediating role of knowledge-centered school culture (KSC). This study also attempts to bring a deeper insight into the correlation between KSC and KS behaviors by exploring the moderating effect of perceived organizational support (POS).

Design/methodology/approach

The paper used a quantitative approach and structural equation modeling to examine the relationship among the latent factors in the research model using data collected from 293 teachers in Vietnamese universities.

Findings

The findings indicated that TL positively influences tacit and explicit KS behaviors of teachers directly or indirectly through its positive effect on KSC. In addition, the paper highlights the moderating role of POS in strengthening the impact of TL on tacit and explicit KS behaviors of teachers.

Research limitations/implications

This paper emphasizes the need to practice TL as an effective pathway to foster tacit and explicit KS behaviors of teachers in higher education.

Originality/value

The paper significantly contributes to enhancing understanding of the antecedent role of TL in fostering knowledge-centered culture and KS behaviors of teachers under the moderating effects of POS in higher education.

Abstract

Purpose

Identity, positioning and possibilities intersect differently for South Asian women in white academia. Within a broader migrant community that defines Australian life, these identities and positioning imply great possibility, but pursuing such pathways within academia is a walk on the last strand of resilience. This paper explores this tension of possibilities and constraints, using hope theory to highlight the cognitive resistance evident in the narratives of three South Asian women in Australian academia.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors use collaborative autoethnography to share their narratives of working in Australian universities at three different stages of careers, utilising Snyder's model of hope theory to interrogate their own goal-setting behaviours, pathways and agentic thinking.

Findings

The authors propose that hope as a cognitive state informs resistance and enables aspirations to contribute within academia in meaningful ways whilst navigating the terrain of inequitable structures.

Originality/value

The authors' use of hope theory as a lens on the intersectional experiences of career making, building and progression is a new contribution to scholarship on marginalised women in white academe and the ways in which the pathways of resistance are identified.
