  • Understanding the National Innovation System: a bibliometric analysis approach   Order a copy of this article
    by Shiwangi Singh, Sanjay Dhir, Viput Ongsakul 
    Abstract: This paper aims to understand the evolution and different perspective of the National Innovation System (NIS) studies. The extant literature on the quantitative development of the is scant. Therefore, it becomes necessary to encapsulate the periodical trends and development of the national innovation system. Bibliometric analysis can be used to analyse divergent views and trace the evolution of topic. This study provides a comprehensive overview of NIS studies using the Scopus database for 31 years from 1990 to 2021 in the 'Business, Management, and Accounting' area for 736 articles. This study identifies the most studied keywords and keyword co-occurrences, which further helped to group them into four clusters, namely antecedents, industry, region, and output/impact. It is suggested that once in a decade, the analysis could be performed to trace their development and impact. The result of this study will help in the advancement of the field.
    Keywords: National Innovation System; bibliometric analysis; innovation clusters; global knowledge; antecedents; output.

  • The impact of online reviews and eWOM on impulse buying tendency: a study of Vietnamese Gen Z consumers   Order a copy of this article
    by Truong Son Nguyen, Viet-Hoang Nguyen, Thi Huong-Thanh Nguyen 
    Abstract: Impulse buying, also known as unplanned purchasing with little deliberation, has received considerable attention in consumer research for several decades. While impulse buying has been extensively studied in Western contexts, research remains sparse in emerging economies, particularly in Vietnam. This study investigates the impact of online social factors, namely online reviews and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), on impulse buying tendency (IBT); social influence theory is used to explain the relationship between these variables. Data were collected through a self-administered survey questionnaire distributed to 318 young consumers (Gen Z) living in Binh Duong province, south of Vietnam. A quantitative approach was employed, and structural equation modelling was used to analyse and interpret the data. The critical findings reveal the positive influence of online reviews and eWOM on IBT. Moreover, eWOM significantly mediates the relationship between online reviews and IBT. The findings also demonstrate a strong relationship between online reviews and eWOM, indicating that the more online comments generated, the greater the eWOM effects. The study also suggests that online retailers, especially those employing e-commerce platforms, should consider appropriate marketing strategies to stimulate online social interactions and, thus, trigger impulsive consumption in order to cultivate more loyal customer relationships.
    Keywords: e-social factors; impulse buying; IB; electronic word-of-mouth; eWOM; online reviews; Gen Z.

  • The relationship between CEOs reputation and firm abnormal earnings evidence from Vietnam   Order a copy of this article
    by Nhu Ngo-Nguyen-Quynh 
    Abstract: The study explores the intersection between a CEO’s reputation and the manipulation of firm abnormal earnings within the context of Vietnam. Drawing upon data derived from 1,959 observations encompassing 602 CEOs and 23 firms within Vietnamese listed companies from 2004 to 2021, the findings affirm a reciprocal relationship between a CEO’s image and corporate abnormal earnings. A one-unit augmentation in corporate abnormal earnings during the current fiscal year corresponds to an 11.77-fold increase in the CEO’s reputation within the same year. Conversely, a one-unit increase in the CEO’s reputation during the current fiscal year results in a 0.02773-fold decrease in corporate abnormal earnings in the subsequent year. These research discoveries offer valuable insights into the repercussions of income manipulation and a CEO’s heightened prominence within the business environment.
    Keywords: corporate abnormal earnings; earnings management; real earnings; accrual earnings; CEO’s reputation; CEO celebrity; CEO image.

  • Exploring moral voice in Vietnams public sector: a study of socially responsible human resource management, public service motivation, and ethical leadership   Order a copy of this article
    by Ha Minh Tri, Bao-Son Doan 
    Abstract: This research delves into the potential influence of socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) on moral voice (MV), emphasising the mediating effect of public service motivation (PSM) and the moderating impact of ethical leadership (ETL) through the lens of social information processing (SIP) theory. Using a questionnaire-based survey and a cluster sampling technique, we gathered data from 434 public servants and cadres in Tien Giang province, Vietnam, which we analysed using a structural equation modelling technique. The results highlight a significant connection between SRHRM and ETL with impacts on MV. Additionally, there is an indirect link between SRHRM and MV channelled through PSM. Ethical leadership was found to play a crucial moderating role in the relationship between SRHRM and both PSM and MV. In this pioneering study in the field, we also discuss various theoretical and practical insights.
    Keywords: ethical leadership; ETL; moral voice; MV; public service motivation; PSM; public sector; socially responsible human resource management; SRHRM; Vietnam.
