Based on data from 397 hotel employees in Thua Thien Hue province, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were applied to analyze the data. The results found that green leadership has a direct impact on organizational green culture, employee green commitment, thereby influencing hotel employees’ pro-environmental behavior. Organizational green culture and employee green commitment play as full mediations on the relationship between green leadership and hotel employees’ pro-environmental behavior. Based on the findings, some managerial implications to promote hotel employees’ pro-environmental behavior have been recommended.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Hoang Trong Hung, Hoang La Phuong Hien, Hoang Ba Lochttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7310Factors affecting Vietnam's exports to the European Union in the context of EVFTA2023-10-20T07:14:09+00:00Phan Thanh Hoanhoanphan@gmail.comDuong Thi Dieu Mydtdmy@hce.edu.vnNguyen Thi Le Huongntlhuong@hce.edu.vn<p>This study examines the factors influencing Vietnam's exports to the European Union (EU) under the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) using the gravity model in international trade. The results obtained from the model reveal that the size of the economies, income disparities, and geographical distances between Vietnam and the EU significantly affect their trade. Conversely, exchange rates negatively impact bilateral trade, while tariffs do not show a statistically significant correlation in the model. Based on these findings, the research proposes policy recommendations aiming at boosting Vietnam's exports to the EU.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Phan Thanh Hoan, Nguyen Thi Le Huong, Duong Thi Dieu Myhttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7273The effect of hybrid rice seeds adoption on the technical efficiency of rice farmers in Vietnam2023-08-30T02:32:00+00:00Nguyen Thi Thuy Hangntthang@hce.edu.vnLe Nu Minh Phuonglnmphuong@hce.edu.vnPham Xuan Hungpxhung@hce.edu.vnHoang Thanh Longhtlong@hce.edu.vn<p>Agricultural technology adoption is one of the crucial factors to increase the productivity and efficiency of agricultural production in developing countries. This study analyzes the effect of hybrid rice seeds adoption on the technical efficiency of rice farmers in Vietnam by using the dataset of the Vietnam Household Resource Access Survey 2018 (VARHS 2018). The paper employs the stochastic production frontier analysis (SFA) method with two stages including the production function model and inefficiency model to examine the influence of the hybrid rice seeds adoption on the technical efficiency of rice production. The estimation results show that the adoption of hybrid rice varieties increases the level of technical efficiency. In addition, the results show that the group of households adopting the hybrid rice seeds has higher productivity and technical efficiency levels than the non-adopters. From the results above, we suggest relevant policy implications to enhance the adoption of hybrid rice seeds and farmers' access to better inputs.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang, Le Nu Minh Phuong, Pham Xuan Hung, Hoang Thanh Longhttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7300Evaluate the integration performance of text-to-speech artificial intelligence systems for supporting visually impaired students in the smart university model2023-11-06T09:26:56+00:00Nguyen Thanh Tuannguyenthanhtuan@hueuni.edu.vnNguyen Dinh Hoa Cuongcuong.nguyen@pxu.edu.vn<p>People with disabilities have been facing difficulties and barriers in terms of inclusive education, especially at the undergraduate level.

Our result indicated that the state land price has adjusted many times but is still low, the price of central areas fluctuated between 1 and 15 million VND/m<sup>2</sup>, while in the peri-urban areas, it altered between 0.41 and 6.24 million VND/m<sup>2</sup>. The market’s land price ranged from 9–75 million VND/m<sup>2</sup> in central and peri-urban areas from 5 to 55 million VND/m<sup>2</sup>. There were numerous fluctuations in the period 2018 - 2022 due to the Covid-19 epidemic, increased bank interest rates, and alterations in administrative boundaries. The residential land prices of peri-urban exhibited an upward trend from 2018 to 2021 but declined in 2022 compared to the central area. Peri-urban areas experienced more pronounced fluctuations in prices compared to central areas, with the difference in land prices between the market and state still notably high. In particular, there were substantial differences in the land prices located in the second, third, and fourth positions. Simultaneously, the research has put forward several solutions aimed at determining residential land prices regulated by the state to align more closely with market prices.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Le Huu Ngoc Thanh, Duong Quoc Non, Pham Thi Thao Hien, Nguyen Huu Nguhttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7372User-generated content and destination images: A bibliometric analysis2023-12-09T11:39:22+00:00Nguyen Thi Minh Nghiantmnghia@hueuni.edu.vnTran Huu Tuanthtuan@hueuni.edu.vn<p>Social networks with content shared by tourists or users who have experienced tourism services are considered the primary source of information that forms the image of a tourism destination.

This study combines two foundational theories, the Theory of Reasoned Action and the Push & Pull Theory, to measure the impact of personal values on travelers’ attitudes towards responsible travel and determine the relationships between factors in the model. This study conducted a survey of 222 respondents at tourist sites in the Dong Thap Muoi region. The authors utilized the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) method and tested the hypothesis using a linear structural model approach with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings show that personal values (particularly intrinsic values) positively influence travelers’ motivation and behavior towards responsible tourism. Meanwhile, the study also found that internal personal values have an indirect impact on responsible travel behavioral intention through two intermediate variables: travel motivation and tourist attitudes.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nguyen Anh Loi, Sui Nghiep Phathttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7370The influence of market orientation on the business performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in Hue City2024-01-23T07:22:14+00:00Nguyen Thi Tra Mymynguyen@hce.edu.vnNguyen Thi Xuan Diemntxdiem@hueuni.edu.vnHoang Trong Hunghung.hoang@hce.edu.vn<p>This study aims to evaluate the impact of market orientation on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Hue City, thereby proposing strategies to improve their business performance. Based on the survey results from 130 SMEs using a convenient method and structural equation modelling (SEM), the study shows three factors that directly affect the business results of SMEs as follows: competitor orientation (COO), inter-functional coordination (IC), and customer orientation (CUO). The influence level of three factors on SMEs’ business performance does not differ too much, but the inter-functional (IC) factor has the highest impact coefficient. Moreover, the study also demonstrated that COO, IC, and CUO factors have an indirect impact on the business results of SMEs through the mediator of competitive advantage (CA).</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nguyen Thi Tra My, Nguyen Thi Xuan Diem, Hoang Trong Hunghttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7231Factors influencing the academic performance of students enrolled in the Faculty of Accounting and Finance, University of Economics, Hue University2023-06-19T11:46:27+00:00Hoang Thi Kim Thoahoangthikimthoa@hueuni.edu.vnHoang Ngoc Ky Duyenhnkyduyen.1112@gmail.com<p>This study aims to assess and analyze the factors that affect the student’s academic performance enrolled in the Faculty of Accounting and Finance, University of Economics, Hue University.

The findings show that, in general, the risk contagion between the VND and other crucial Asian currencies in the study is modest. Second, the intensity of risk spillovers is not constant but varies over time, spiking significantly when Covid-19 became a pandemic. Third, the VND is a net-risk receiver currency, especially from stronger currencies such as KRW, SGD, or JPY, and becomes more vulnerable during the disease occurrence.</p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Le To Minh Tan, Nguyen Manh Tuan, Phan Thanh Hoanhttps://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/hujos-ed/article/view/7411The economic efficiency of organic rice contract farming: case study in Phong Hien commune, Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province2024-03-18T03:09:31+00:00Tran Huynh Bao Chauthbchau@hce.edu.vnNguyen Hoang Diem Mynhdmy@hce.edu.vnBui Dung Thebdthe@hce.edu.vnTran Huynh Quang Minhthqminh@hce.edu.vnHoang Bao Duchoangbaoduc@hce.edu.vn<p>A random survey of 85 farmers engaging in organic rice contract farming was conducted in Phong Hien Commune, Phong Dien District, Thua Thien Hue Province. The economic accounting and quantile regression methods are applied to quantify the economic efficiency of households and the factors that affect annual revenue in the various quantiles. The findings show that the average annual profit of farmers is 0.709 million VND/ 500 m<sup>2</sup>. The revenue-to-total cost ratio in all cropping seasons is greater than 1, indicating that farmers are profitable and their profit margin is 17%. Moreover, an average family labor contribution generates a profit of 179 thousand VND/ 500 m<sup>2</sup>. The results of quantile regression at 75% show that the annual revenue of households is positively affected by two factors: education and the interaction of cultivated area and family labor cost. Improving the economic effeciency of farming household hinges on their ability to effectively utilize and allocate expenses, optimize the costs of purchasing organic fertiliser, and harmonizing production scale with labor utilization sourced from within the family. This research contributes empirical evidence in support of planning the development of organic rice production in Thua Thien Hue Province. </p>2024-03-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Tran Huynh Bao Chau, Nguyen Hoang Diem My, Bui Dung The, Tran Huynh Quang Minh, Hoang Bao Duc
