The recognition of brand equity has been in a substantial amount of recent research. In this study, we investigated the indicators of brand equity, which include brand image, brand awareness, and brand loyalty, in the context of higher education in analyzing the students of 10 universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We collected a sample size of 340 people to conduct a path analysis using a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The results proved a significant relationship between brand awareness and brand loyalty and brand equity. We also verified the relationships between brand communication, brand trust, and brand image. These findings provide an example of one such implication, such as what universities should emphasize in their marketing efforts.

In this article, the impacts that moral intelligence has on green purchasing intentions in Jordan was investigated based on three moral theories (Utilitarianism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics), as well as the theory of Planned Behavior. Furthermore, four key areas of moral intelligence (compassion, forgiveness, responsibility and integrity) were discussed. A questionnaire was used to obtain the necessary primary data from 191 customers in Jordan. To analyze the results, partial least squares structural equation modeling was carried out. It was concluded that the four key aspects of moral intelligence (compassion, forgiveness, responsibility and integrity) positively impact green purchasing intentions. This research has practical significance in the fields of green marketing and moral intelligence, especially with regard to the dimensions of compassion, forgiveness, responsibility and integrity. These dimensions can thus serve as a guide for improving customers’ green purchase intentions in future. Moreover, the research is important for investigations into individual and company-based environmental sustainability.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of performance appraisal on job performance focusing on the role of Motivation in the governmental sector in Qatar. While many organiza-tions consider performance appraisal (PA) an important tool to measure and evaluate employees’ performance, PA can be used as an effective tool to maintain the capabilities and effectiveness of the workforce. In general, PA can be a crucial tool to motivate employees and leverage their job performance and thus can be considered as a competitive advantage over rivals. This paper has identified main factors of PA from the previous pieces of literature and prioritized the most influencing factors affecting PA such as purpose (PAP), criteria (PAC), leadership (PAL), and methods of evaluations (PAE) on employee’s motivation as well as their relationships with job performance. Besides, the study sought to fill the literature gap on the performance management field in the context of Qatar for future research. In the course of this study, descriptive research design was adopted in the form of a survey. The survey was distributed, and 294 responses were collected. The conclusion of the finding was that the PAP and PAE had impacts on employee’s motivation and job performance, while PAC and PAL did not. In addition, the findings illustrate a positive correlation between employee’s motivation and performance. Human Resource managers of organizations may use findings to better support employees’ motivation and performance.

The main objective of this study was to assess the role of corporate social responsibility on tourism and hospitality in Vietnam. To accomplish this, we conducted a field survey and analysis on 886 tourism and hospitality in Vietnam over a 6-month period. The results show that corporate social responsibility helped businesses improve corporate reputation, increase customer satisfaction and improve financial performance of Vietnam tourism and hospitality. Customer satisfaction and corporate reputation had a statistically significant positive impact on the financial performance of these businesses. However, corporate reputation and customer satisfaction did not play a full mediate role in the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. Finally, we examined the moderate role of foreign ownership and size in the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance, showing that both foreign ownership and firm size had a moderate role on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. With the more percent of foreign owned, the implementation of corporate social responsibility, the stronger the impact on the financial performance, the less percentage of foreign owned, which means the implementation of corporate social responsibility had positive impact but less intense. The greater size of enterprises, the more corporate social responsibilities and the better financial performance. In contrast to the smaller businesses, the more corporate social responsibility, the worse financial performance. At the same time, we proposed several solutions to improve the corporate social responsibility for tourism and hospitality in Vietnam.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of training and job promotion on work motiva-tion and their implications on employee job performance. The study is accomplished in the Environment of the South Lampung Regency National Education Office on 215 respondents. The research design uses a quantitative survey method and data analysis is based on the structural equation model (SEM) with Amos 24. The results of the study show that (a) training and promotion had a positive and significant effect on work motivation, (b) training, promo-tion and work motivation had a positive and significant effect on job performance but (c) work motivation did not play any significant role in mediating the effect of training and job promotion for job performance. While job promotion had a more dominant direct effect than training in improving employee job performance, efforts to improve employee job performance will be more productive by providing job promotions to employees. Another effort is to provide opportunities for employees to attend training regularly. With job promotion and training, work motivation will increase, and the impact is that employee job performance will increase.

The industrialisation and urbanisation have made goods affordable and quickly to obtain. These create hyper-consumption where we use to buy more than what we need, and so fast discard the things that we buy. Access-based consumption is a trend that gains more popularity in today’s society, in which consumer can have access to new and various items without having to own them. One of the access-based consumption is renting, and this concept has been applied in many sectors such as fashion, property and recently it has been applied in items for children since more Millennials are living in limited space and they need to choose which product to own. The study aims to investigate the relationship between perceived risk, frugal shopping, perceived enjoyment and attitude toward renting items for children. The online questionnaire was administered to 100 participants. The results show that psychological risk affects attitude negatively, perceived enjoyment influences on attitude positively, and frugal shopping has some impact on perceived enjoyment and attitude positively. Marketing strategies are suggested for renting business owners by embracing the enjoyment feeling from renting. It is important to promote the benefit of getting new items regularly without having to buy them more often and the benefit of playing and using items beyond their usual shopping budget.
