This study examines effect of transformational leadership (TFL) on work motivation in Vietnam, through the mediating role of employee emotions (expressed by the effect of leader on employee satisfaction). This paper considers employee motivation using independent and intermediate variables characterizing individuals and organizations. In order to find relationships between the select-ed variables, and to evaluate the role of the mediator, a technique of Explore Factor Analysis method (EFA) is sued with primary data collected from 286 among 317 employees currently working using regression models and 500 bootstrapping samples in order to quantify the role of the mediator. For the purposes of the analysis, the structural equation modelling (SEM) method was efficiency applied. The quantitative research was conducted in SMEs selected by stratification technique. In both cases the outcomes are significantly determined by employees’ motivation. This practical model demonstrates an influential relationship between TFL and work motivation. The study provides proof that the relations of transformational leadership have been shown to have a direct indirect influence on employee motivation, in which the mediator is the satisfaction which has direct impact on work motivation. The results of the research show strong evidences for policy makers and enterprises for management at SMEs as well as it contributes to literature review of behavior organization. Findings also strongly show implied solutions which would support for Vietnamese SMEs to improve stable job performance.

This research aims to investigate the impact of school efficiency on student development and sheds light on the way that top-universities enhance students’ knowledge, skills, health, and psychological development. Through interviewing and sending online questionnaires to over 2000 students from 5 top universities in Vietnam based on Ranking Web of Universities, the research results suggest the significant influence of school-related factors, student demographic factors, and students’ personality on student development. Specifically, teaching quality has a positive relationship with all dependent variables except for psychosocial development. The results also illustrate that school facilities positively relate to students’ satisfaction but negatively associate with their academic performance. Additionally, the research points out that boys have better psychological, mental, and physical development than girls do. At the same time, students with lower schoolyear tend to have a higher level of studying satisfaction. Furthermore, the impact of personality, including openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, on student development is remarkable due to their significant positive connections with all five dependent variables. On the other hand, agreeable students appear to have less psychological development than those in other personality groups.

The study identified factors affecting the level of nursing home activity worker’s requirements fulfillment in Vietnam.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of factors that influence entrepreneurial intention among tourism undergraduate students in Vietnam. A research framework based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was proposed to understand the relationship between the TPB factors and entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention was also investigated. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 388 tourism undergraduate students at different universities across Vietnam. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized to test the hypotheses of this research. The study findings show that subjective norms (SN), attitude toward entrepreneurship (AE), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and entrepreneurship education (EE) had direct effects on entrepreneurial intention (EI); however, perceived behavioral control had the strongest influence on entrepreneurial intention. The findings provide educators with insights into how to promote entrepreneurship activities among tourism undergraduate students in Vietnam through educational programs and training.

The study identified factors affecting the behavior of literature learning of secondary high school students in Vietnam. To achieve this goal, in this study we surveyed 300 students currently studying at two secondary schools in Son La province and Hanoi city of Vietnam. The analysis of multivariate linear regression models showed that 5 out of 12 factors had a strong influence on literature learning behavior of secondary high school students, including (i) Gender, (ii) Learning motivation, (iii) Student living place, (iv) Academic performance, (v) Teacher's teaching method. 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.
