This study aims to examine the effects of higher education on self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 553 Vietnamese students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employed the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between higher education, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests are implemented to indicate the difference of higher education on entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between higher education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control also had positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-Square and Cramer’s V test report that there was a strong evidence of higher education in entrepreneurial intention but there were no differences in self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.

The study seeks to define the role of management bias on the weak performance of employ-ees. The research sample comprised of 107 male and female employees. To achieve this re-search purpose, there were 79 questionnaires valid for statistical analysis, adopting the descriptive approach. Questionnaire was used to measure the effect of management bias on employ-ees’ weak performance. The study concluded that the university dependence on scientific foundations, qualifications, and abilities in selecting and recruiting employees was intermediate, which indicates that the university does not often follow the right regulations in selecting employees, indicating the bias existing in employees’ selection. In light of the aforementioned results, the study recommended the management at Jadara University to establish an inde-pendent committee of professionals to recruit efficient and qualified employees.

Total quality management (TQM) is one of the popular management methods in many devel-oped countries, while it is an entirely new method for emerging economies. Although TQM practices contribute to the sustainable development of organizations, it is challenging to adopt this method efficiently. Six criteria factors are playing important roles in TQM implementation, which are: leadership, process management, quality information, employee training, customer focus, and supplier management. Each factor has different roles for firm performance represented by financial performance and non – financial performance. Identifying the relationship between TQM practices and the performance in Vietnamese enterprises, the research investigates the role of non – financial performance as a mediator variable in the relationship between TQM practices and financial performance. Through designing a questionnaire to conduct a survey, this paper studies the mediating role of non – financial performance on the relationship between TQM practices and financial performance utilizing SPSS 20 and AMOS 22 software with 211 Vietnamese enterprises by using SEM analysis. The estimation results propose that non – financial performance plays a vital role as a full mediator in the relation-ship between TQM practices and financial performance in the Vietnam context. In this research, there is no difference in the mediating effect level of non – financial performance between TQM companies & non – TQM companies as well as ISO adopters & non – ISO adopters. The study suggests that Vietnamese enterprises should have strict commitment to place TQM philosophy in actions at this early step of TQM implementation process to achieve considerable benefits in long-term development.

This study aims to depict the halal tourism concept, its business process, and investigate dilemmas faced by tourism industry and proposes strategies to resolve the constraints based on the best practice from the tourism business operators. In addition, this study tries to investigate the influence of various factors on halal tourism. Triangulation method used by combining personal in-depth interview, documentation/literature review and field observation to generate the discussion and conclusion. Interview process was conducted by selecting four tourism operators in Indonesia who won the best halal category award by The World Halal Travel Award in Dubai. Additionally, for the empirical analysis, a questionnaire was also developed, and data was collected from a total sample of 313 Muslim tourists in the region of Indonesia. Study reveals that instead of taking position as pure sharia-compliant business, all participants chose to become Muslim-friendly business. This moderate business process transformation helps to expand their market segment to Muslim tourists at tolerable cost. The existing dilemmas faced by all entities in tourism industry are as follows: there is no formal standard of halal criteria, high-cost business transition, lack of sharia-competent human resources and lack of promotion. Besides, findings through regression analysis specifies that there is a significant and positive influence of quality and certification of halal food, male serving in the restaurants, halal activities and separate recreational facilities on halal tourism industry. The study was engaged with the best practices from halal business operators. Further research is suggested to involve tourists’ perception of halal-related product, management, human resource and finance operated by the halal business operators. Meanwhile, this study has considered a limited number of factors influencing on the halal tourism with traditional analysis approach.

Previous studies have established that leadership has a decisive role in shaping organizational outcomes in general and performance in particular. However, few efforts have gone into ex-plaining the effect demonstrated by servant leadership on how employees do perceive their performance and whether such a relationship is mediated by public service motivation. This paper addresses servant leadership, public service motivation and employee performance among staff in the context of Jordanian civil servants. Data was gathered from a random sample drawn among 3000 employees of the Jordanian customs department. Structure equation modelling techniques were used to statistically analyze the dataset. This draws scholars’ attention into how servant leadership plays a role affecting civil servants perceived self-reported performance while motivating employees to serve the cause of governmental institutions which in turn enhances an increase on the reported performance levels. This paper produces further evidence to support servant leadership and public service motivation adoption to affect performance in previously neglected area of Jordanian public service within the Jordanian customs department.

This research aims to study and analyze the effects of human resource flexibility, employee competencies, organizational culture adaptation, and job satisfaction on employee performance. The study also examines the indirect effect between human resource flexibility and employee performance with the mediation of organizational culture adaptation and the effect of competence on employee performance through job satisfaction as a mediator variable. Us-ing certain criteria, 105 employees of PT Pos Indonesia were selected as the sample. SEM-PLS was used to test the hypotheses. The study finds that human resource flexibility, employee competencies, and job satisfaction significantly influenced employee performance, but organizational culture adaptation did not have any significant effect on employee performance. Therefore, organizational culture adaptation was unable to mediate the effect of human re-source flexibility on employee performance. However, job satisfaction partially mediates the effect of employee competencies on employee performance.
