  • Activating employee innovation through engagement: evidence from internal communication practices in Vietnam   Order a copy of this article
    by Ha Minh Tri, Thi Ngoc Nhi Pham, Mai Dinh Lam 
    Abstract: This research investigates the intricate interplay among internal communication satisfaction, employee innovative behaviour, and the mediating role of employee engagement. Utilising data from 633 participants in Vietnams apparel and textile sector, structural equation modelling was used to examine the connections. Contrary to immediate direct connections between internal communication satisfaction and employee innovative behaviour, our findings reveal that enhanced employee engagement emerges as a potent mediator, facilitating the intricate relationship between these variables. This study breaks new ground by pioneering the exploration of employee engagement as a mediating factor within the internal communicationinnovation nexus, offering a unique lens through the cultural influences of Confucian values and the integration of technology. Significantly, our research contributes to a nuanced understanding of organisational behaviour, highlighting the application of social exchange theory in the context of modern workplaces.
    Keywords: internal communication; employee engagement; innovative behaviour; social exchange theory; SET; Confucianism; Vietnam.

  • Greening organisational performance through green intellectual capital: a moderated mediation analysis in Vietnams manufacturing industry   Order a copy of this article
    by Ha Minh Tri, Thi Ngoc Nhi Pham 
    Abstract: This research investigates the important role of Green Intellectual Capital in fostering organisational sustainability, with the mediation and moderation analysis in the manufacturing industry in Vietnam. Through a quantitative approach utilising Structural Equation Modelling, data from 308 samples were analysed. The findings reveal that Green Human Capital and Green Relational Capital significantly influence sustainability outcomes, with the mediation of Green Work Engagement and the moderating role of Green Organisational Culture. Notably, the importance of Green Organisational Culture in facilitating the relationship between Green Intellectual Capital and sustainability emerges as a key insight, explained by Institutional Theory and Organisational Learning Theory. The implications of these findings underscore the critical importance of fostering a Green Organisational Culture in enhancing the sustainable performance of organisations, thereby contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical applications in the field.

  • Factors affecting purchase intentions in cause-related marketing: insights from Vietnamese consumers   Order a copy of this article
    by Ha Minh Tri, Ly Nguyen 
    Abstract: Cause-related marketing (CRM) has been recognized as an important enterprise marketing approach. This study examines several factors influencing purchase intention in CRM, specifically skepticism, warm glow, and cause involvement. Using a convenience sample of 423 consumers, the findings reveal that cause involvement positively influences purchase intention. Additionally, hedonic shopping orientation increases skepticism, while utilitarian shopping orientation reduces it. Skepticism, in turn, negatively affects purchase intention and diminishes the warm glow effect. This research provides insights into the various factors shaping young Vietnamese consumers' purchase intentions in CRM. Marketers involved in planning and executing CRM campaigns can leverage these findings to design more effective strategies.
    Keywords: cause-related marketing; CRM; purchase intentions; consumer skepticism; warm glow; cause involvement; hedonism; utilitarian; Vietnam.

  • The relationship between competitiveness and sustainable development: new evidence from Vietnam   Order a copy of this article
    by Tran Vu, Trinh Cong Tam, Ton Nu Ngoc Han 
    Abstract: Few studies focus on competitiveness as a key driver at the provincial level in developing countries. The research gap is significant given the socio-economic, environmental, and health impacts that competitiveness can have on regional sustainability. This study aims to examine the determinants of sustainable development, focusing on provincial competitiveness, using datasets covering 63 provinces and cities in Vietnam between 2021 and 2022. Our results, based on Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) estimation show that competitiveness, GDP per capita, financial development, inflation, urbanization, education, and the use of natural resources are key factors correlated with sustainable development. However, their effects significantly differ between developed and developing regions, suggesting that regional differences in development are crucial. This article provides key policy insights for local governments on sustainable development, which has become essential for balancing environmental concerns with economic growth.
    Keywords: competitiveness; sustainable development; province; PSDI; PCI; GMM estimator; Vietnam; economic growth.

  • Green finance and anti-money-laundering effectiveness: evidence from Asian countries   Order a copy of this article
    by Nguyen-Quynh-Nhu Ngo, Thi-Huong Pham, Ha Pham, Minh Thao Truong 
    Abstract: Anti-money laundering (AML) plays a vital role in safeguarding economic stability, enhancing social security, and promoting social equity. This study examines the impact of green finance performance on the effectiveness of AML measures, based on a sample of Asian countries. Using the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) and Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) methods, the results reveal that government-issued green bonds are negatively associated with AML effectiveness. Moreover, higher levels of corruption appear to undermine AML effectiveness, highlighting the urgent need for robust and collaborative policy measures to align sustainable development goals with effective AML frameworks. These findings remain consistent across additional robustness tests. The study suggests that governments should strengthen anti-corruption measures and integrate AML standards into the assessment and regulation of green finance performance.
    Keywords: green bond; green finance; money laundering; Asian countries; corruption; sustainable development goal.
