Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to examine the impact of bank liquidity, monetary policy and global crises on bank risk-taking behavior of Vietnamese banks. It provides evidence for a risk-taking channel of monetary policy through bank liquidity and global crises.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses the data set of 572 observations from 35 banks operating in Vietnam between 2005 and 2022, using the GMM regression technique.

Findings

The findings indicate that banks with higher liquidity tend to take more risks in the long run. Additionally, expansionary monetary policies encourage banks to take on more risk. Bank liquidity and global crises, such as the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, not only directly affect bank risk-taking but also indirectly through monetary policy.

Originality/value

This paper expands the existing literature by examining the effect of bank liquidity, monetary policy and global crises on bank risk-taking by using the GMM and two models of which the authors regress the impact with and without bank liquidity and global crises. New factors affecting risk-taking, including operating cost, financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic are added into the model.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper examines the effect of intellectual capital (IC) and market capitalization (MC) on corporate investment decisions (ID) through the mediating and moderating effects of knowledge/information sharing (KS) and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach

With the use of SPSS 26 and SmartPLS version 3.0, the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique is employed with 1,036 observations to examine the effects.

Findings

Our findings show that IC and social interactions (SI) have a positive effect on KS. KS affects positively both MC and ID. KS has the mediating and moderating effects while the Covid-19 has the moderating impact on ID.

Practical implications

This research suggests that company leaders should understand the important role of IC and MC in enhancing ID through KS. They should pay attention to MC to enhance their investment and SI among employees, partners, consumers and authorities should be encouraged.

Originality/value

This research contributes to the existing literature by employing the perceptual scale to examine the effect of IC and MC, the mediating and moderating effects of KS, and analyze the moderating role of the Covid-19 on ID. It also expands the current models by including the Covid-19 and MC to clarify the ID determinants. New measurements of MC and the Covid-19 constructed are also another contribution.

Abstract

Purpose

This study investigates the determinants of the market capitalization of listed companies through evidence from an emerging country.

Design/methodology/approach

This research employs the system generalized method of moments for a dataset of 7,608 observations from 687 Vietnamese listed firms.

Findings

Our findings show that both external and internal factors affect market capitalization. Intellectual capital, sales growth, profit, leverage and crises are positively linked to market capitalization; meanwhile, foreign direct investment, inflation and gross domestic product negatively affect market capitalization. The negative effect of macrofactors reflects the fact that the macroeconomic environment can deteriorate investment values and then market capitalization. This implies that macroeconomic stability is very crucial for firms and financial stability. The COVID-19 and financial crisis have a moderating influence on market capitalization through sales growth, profitability and leverage. Unlike previous studies, we find that intellectual capital plays a very essential role regardless of whether there is a crisis or not. Therefore, firms should focus on intellectual capital to grow market capitalization sustainably.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to the literature of market capitalization by investigating the determinants of market capitalization with a joint assessment of the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have not yet been considered together in previous studies. It enriches the literature by investigating the moderating effect of COVID-19 and financial crisis on the relationships between some key determinants and market capitalization. Unlike previous studies, our study highlights the essential role of intellectual capital in enhancing market capitalization regardless of whether there is a crisis.

Abstract

Purpose

This study conceptualizes job engagement and satisfaction as a crucial mediating mechanism in the relationship between procedural justice and citizenship behavior at individual level (OCB) under the boundary conditions of perceived supervisor support (PSS) and rewards and recognition (RR).

Design/methodology/approach

The survey data were obtained from two periods of time. To reduce the potential bias, the authors approached respondents from different business units and measured RR and OCB from different points of time. The authors assessed the path significance at 95% bias-corrected confidence interval or more by the PLS algorithm and bootstrapping statistics.

Findings

Using an import-export company data, this study substantiates a positive effect of the proposed mediational mechanism of job engagement and satisfaction. In addition, the authors substantiate moderating roles of PSS and RR in the relationships between procedural justice and job satisfaction and, between job engagement and OCB, respectively.

Originality/value

This study is an important extension in enhancing the procedural justice and OCB relationship. The results do not only underscore the contributions of job engagement and satisfaction as vital mediators to the assumed relationship but also lend support to the inclusion of the moderating effects of PSS and RR.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effect of supply chain quality management on operational performance in Vietnamese manufacturing companies.

Design/methodology/approach

Questionnaire survey is conducted to collect data from Vietnamese manufacturing companies in the electronic/electric industry. Collected data were analyzed by using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.

Findings

This study points out the current situation of implementing supply chain quality management practices in Vietnamese manufacturing companies which are more focused on internal quality management practices than upstream and downstream quality management practices. Correlation and regression analyses that demonstrate the significant linkage between supply chain quality management practices and operational performance are confirmed in this study. Upstream and downstream quality management are found to be the significant predictor for high performance on quality, cost and delivery.

Research limitations/implications

This study has some limitations that can be addressed in future studies. The first limitation is the relatively small sample size due to lack of time and resources. These constraint can be overcome in future works by collecting more data in diverse countries and industries to re-examine the framework. Furthermore, larger sample will allow researchers to apply other statistical methods such as path analysis and structural equation modelling, which would provide interesting results. Another limitation is that the collected data in this paper mainly rely on perceptions of the respondents, which may cause individual bias in analysis. To reduce this type of bias, both subjective and objective measurement of scales, especially performance measures, can be used in future studies.

Practical implications

This study provides empirical evidences that practitioners can use to improve a specific type of performance, especially in the context of emerging economies. In a turbulent and unpredictable business environment, it is emphasized that quality management should be extended at supply chain level to utilize the capabilities of external partners. In Vietnamese manufacturing firms, implementation of such practices as information technology links, information sharing, supplier involvement and customer involvement would lead to high level of operational performance.

Originality/value

Supply chain management and quality management are two fields of study that have gained much attention of researchers. However, the concept of supply chain quality management as well as its impact on business performance have not been fully studied, especially in context of a developing country. Through extensive literature review, this study proposes and tests an analytical framework that characterizes supply chain quality management into three elements: internal quality management, upstream quality management and downstream quality management. Subsequently, their impact on quality, cost and delivery are analyzed to provide better understanding of supply chain quality management in Vietnamese context.

Abstract

Purpose

Mental ill health is prevalent among construction workers due to high job demands and unsafe working conditions. Psychological safety climate (PSC) has emerged as a potential solution for improving workplace mental health. However, there is still limited understanding of how different dimensions of PSC influence mental ill health. Thus, this study aims to explore the impact of PSC on the mental ill health of construction employees in the Vietnamese context.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 238 construction professionals using a non-probability sampling method. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between various PSC dimensions and mental ill health.

Findings

The findings revealed that management commitment and management priority have the most significant influence on reducing mental ill health in the Vietnamese construction sector. While organizational communication and participation contribute, their impact is less pronounced but crucial in promoting employee well-being.

Originality/value

Firms should actively promote mental well-being by visibly prioritizing psychological health alongside productivity and providing resources for stress prevention. For policymakers, these findings suggest the need for regulations that encourage or mandate mental health programs. Additionally, the study highlights the need for employees to engage with mental health initiatives to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health discussions in the workplace.

Abstract

Purpose

Poor mental health is a well-recognized issue in the construction sector. However, there is still little understanding of factors affecting construction employees’ awareness of mental health problems (MHP). This study aims to investigate the awareness of MHP among construction employees using the Health Belief Model (HBM). The research explores how various factors, such as perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action and self-efficacy, shape MHP awareness within the construction sector.

Design/methodology/approach

A structured four-step research methodology was employed. First, a literature review and expert validation identified 28 variables relevant to MHP awareness. A questionnaire was then developed and distributed to construction employees in Vietnam, with 238 valid responses collected. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed to validate the evaluation model. After that, fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) was used to assess the importance of each dimension of MHP awareness.

Findings

The results indicate that perceived barriers and perceived benefits were the two most significant factors in MHP awareness. The remaining dimensions – perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, cues to action and self-efficacy – were found to have a lesser but notable impact on MHP awareness.

Originality/value

This research comprehensively analyzes MHP awareness among construction employees using the HBM framework. The findings suggested that Vietnamese firms should focus on increasing cues to action and self-efficacy to improve MHP awareness among construction employees. This study also proposed that construction firms should provide more stress-reduction activities and training programs suitable to the Vietnamese context for their employees.

Abstract

This chapter provides information on the development of Vietnamese education under the influence of global forces based on the analysis of relevant education research and policies using Wolhuter’s frameworks. In the process of coming up with ways to develop education in the face of different influences of globalization, besides having reactions with patterns commonly found in countries around the world, Vietnam also has responses that reflect its own political, sociocultural and economic characteristics. The state still plays a controlling role in education at all levels and many culture-related features that have existed throughout the country’s history have hardly changed, namely aspects related to teachers, learners and teaching and learning methods. To sustain its education in the globalized era, Vietnam must make more efforts in various aspects such as the link between education and employment, the logic of education objectives, the feasibility and appropriateness of curricula, quality of education, especially of higher education and equality in education for underprivileged groups.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to examine the management status quo of archaeological heritage in Vietnam seen in the case of Vuon Chuoi, a complex of Bronze Age sites located in Central Hanoi, which has been believed to be Hanoi’s first human settlement. Like other archaeological sites located in urban areas, this site has been under threat of destruction caused by land encroachment pressure. Although researchers have long waged a campaign for preservation, the dissensus among key stakeholders and the dispute over responsibility have left this site at the heart of an interminable polemic over legislation.

Design/methodology/approach

This research utilises a qualitative approach, and the primary data were collected throughout multiple field trips in 2019 and 2020. Several open-ended interviews were conducted with various state and nonstate actors involved in the Vuon Chuoi Complex’s management process. The discussion was also supported by analysing related legal documents retrieved from national archives and official online directories.

Findings

This paper dissects the current legislative and administrative framework applied in governing heritage in general and archaeological sites in Vietnam, in particular. The results indicate that existing flaws in Vietnam’s legal system are detectable, and the unsystematic organisation has led to deferment of the decision-making processes. Also, there is an apparent difference found in the attitude of the bodies in charge toward the treatment of listed and unlisted sites.

Originality/value

This research outlines that in the wake of urbanisation and industrialisation in Vietnam, a consensus among key stakeholders and an inclusive legal system are required to help preserve archaeological sites in urgent need of attention. Although several Vietnamese laws and regulations have been put into practice, they have shown critical barriers and gaps in conserving Vietnamese cultural heritage.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to trace the way in which a popular ritual became one of Vietnam’s most important festivals, elevated as a celebration of national heroism and charts its gradual transformation in modern society.

Design/methodology/approach

This research focuses on the combination of a fertility rite and narratives of St Gióng based on nationalism or heroism created a special festival reflecting many traditional cultural characteristics of Vietnam and the Việt people and the transformation of St Gióng from a mythological to a national symbol of heroism in anti-invader history was recorded in texts.

Findings

The paper casts light on the mythologization and historicization of St Gióng in Vietnam’s particular historical context by decoding the Gióng symbol as a core element of the folktales and myths about St Gióng to understand the formation and development of St Gióng in the cultural history of Vietnam.

Research limitations/implications

The paper is not exploring the Gióng symbol within a larger cultural context of nationalism and ethnosymbolic approach in a comparison of national symbolism and heroism.

Practical implications

The paper includes implications for advised scholars to conduct further exploration of the symbol and myth of not only St Gióng in Vietnam but also Kubera in India and Vaisravana in China to connect Kubera, Vaisravana and St Gióng under the connection of literal myth and heroic symbol.

Social implications

The paper shows how processes of historicizing myth and mythologizing history are important features of Vietnamese socio-historical research.

Originality/value

The paper shows how a fertility rite became a historical festival and the figure of St Gióng became a symbol of patriotic heroism.
