On this basis, the study proposes several positive solutions to improve the efficiency of the literature learning of secondary high school students in the future.

This study aims to investigate the effects of job-related stressors and individual-related stressors on employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty in the context of Vietnam hospitality industry. Data were collected by surveying 595 employees including Hotel/Restaurant receptionist, low-level manager (shift/group leader, supervisor, etc.) and Middle level and high ranked manager (Chief/deputy chief of department, general manager, director, etc.) from medium to large Hotels and Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides, the collected data was analyzed by employing partial least squares (PLS) technique. The results show that individual-related stressors positively and directly affect employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty while job-related stressors have a positive direct effect on employee motivation but indirectly affect job satisfaction and employee loyalty. This study provides critical contributions to the research field of the Hospitality industry as well as suggests some important recommendations for improving employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty in the context of Vietnam Hospitality.

The objective of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the implementation of outcome-based education (OBE) in the master program in Economic Management. A research framework was proposed to investigate the relationship between the factors including professional knowledge, the ability to detect and solve problems, team work and communication skills, work attitude with students’ perceived value and these factors with practical application ability. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 388 graduate students of economic management at different universities in Hanoi, Vietnam. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized to test the hypotheses of this research. The study findings show that professional knowledge, the ability to detect and solve problems, team work and communication skills and work attitude had direct impacts on students’ perceived value; and students’ perceived value had a direct impact on practical application ability of Economic Management’s program in work. The findings also indicate that professional knowledge did not have any direct impact on practical application ability of Economic Management’s program in work and the ability to detect and solve problems only had indirect impact on practical application ability through the moderator of students’ perceived value. It is stressed the importance role of students’ perceived value; and when students understand that the program benefits and they provide knowledge and skills effectively in practice

The impact of organizational commitment on employees’ job performance has been studied extensively in the West, while few studies have been conducted in non-western countries. Moreover, there are not many studies about the effects of job satisfaction on this relationship. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of organizational commitment on job performance through the mediating role of job satisfaction. For the purpose, four hypotheses were developed, the first three predicted positive relationships between organizational commitment, job satisfaction and job performance and the last one suggested the mediating effect of job satisfaction. 547 employees in Vietnamese enterprises were surveyed. The results of the study supported all the hypotheses. Accordingly, organizational commitment had a positive impact on job performance; organizational commitment had a positive impact on job satisfaction; job satisfaction had a positive impact on job performance when organizational commitment was controlled. The strength of the relation between organizational commitment and job performance was significantly reduced when job satisfaction was added to the model, suggesting the mediating role of job satisfaction. In the light of the findings, it is suggested that merely positive relationship between organizational commitment and job performance may not automatically lead an employer to achieve the outcome - job performance. Therefore, the secret of success lies in improving job satisfaction through solutions to enhance organizational commitment, thereby increase job performance.

This paper focuses on the potential adoption of activity-based costing (ABC) in businesses in a developing economy. Through factor analysis, this research identifies the impacts of organizational and cultural factors on ABC adoption. The study employs survey methodology to collect primary data on factors that expect to have impacts on the adoption of ABC. The logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between these factors and the adoption of ABC. The result indicates that most factors do not cause significant influences on the potential adoption of ABC in the targeted economy, except for the size of company. This indicates that larger companies are more interested in ABC adoption than smaller ones. This result also gives some explanation of the research results.

This paper examines the technical efficiency of small-scale manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam. The research uses primary data from a survey from June, 2019 to August, 2019 with 321 observations of six subsectors, including Textile, Garment; Building materials; Vegetable, Fruit and Bulb; Manufacture of Steel; Furniture Manufacturing and Food Processing. The research’s results show that the mean technical efficiency was 71.26 percent. However, there are considerable differences between sub-sectors ranging from 55.97 percent to 95.97 percent. The above mentioned results indicate that with the same level of inputs, Vietnamese small size enterprises can increase the present level of output by 44.03 percent; 38.05 percent; 30.92 percent; 26.07 percent; 21.05 percent and 4.08 percent for the sectors of Food Processing, Building Material; Textile, Garment; Vegetable, Fruit and Bulb; Manufacture of Steel and Furniture Manufacturing, respectively. The estimated results further suggest that manufacturing small-scale enterprise in Vietnam should improve their technology, labor quality and the initiative of input materials, especially, the sectors of Textile, Garment; Building Materials and Food Processing in order to move the production frontier upward as their technical efficiency are maintaining at low level.
