    Trans Women’s Rights from The Perspective of Vietnamese Labour Law
    ( 2022)
    Trần Thiên Trang
    The rapid development in medicine has led to various legal issues related to transsexual persons. In terms of female workers' rights, it is worth considering the rights of male to female transsexuals (trans women) from the perspective of labour law. The question here is whether trans women have the same rights as those of female workers. In fact, trans women must use hormones to maintain their female characteristics during their lives, which make them weaker and shorten their life. Furthermore, after the sex transition, many parts of trans women's bodies shall have significant changes such as the face, skeleton, muscle, genitals and so on. At this point, trans women should be treated in the same way as `women-born-women'. Since this issue may become a heavy burden for trans women, the paper aims to have an insight on the current Vietnamese labour law concerning mainly (i) the trans women's right to raise a child under twelve months of age and (ii) retirement ages. This paper is structured into three main sections. The first section aims to shed light on the re-consideration of the modern feminist theory on who are counted as women. The second section takes a view of trans women's rights from the perspective of labour law. The final section is for conclusion and recommendations. It is pointed out that in the Vietnamese legal context that trans women workers may easily become victims of discrimination because of the lack of specific regulations. It is worth stating that the gap of legal procedures and provisions related to gender recognition for trans women could be barriers preventing trans women from enjoying the rights of female workers under the Vietnamese Labour Code. To summarize, this study is necessary, especially in the context that Vietnam is currently drafting the Law on Gender transition. The Feminist Legal Theory and the methodology of analysis, comparison, and synthesis of legal dispositions are used to analyse the mentioned matters.

    ( 2022)
    Vu Minh Hieu
    This paper aims to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement. There is also an investigation of the moderating effect of religiosity on psychological empowerment and job satisfaction as well as job satisfaction and employee engagement. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from 265 employees working in the service industry in Nigeria. The hypotheses were tested and analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedure. Findings The results show that the direct relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement was partially mediated by job satisfaction. Intrinsic religiosity was found to have a moderating effect on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Religiosity (intrinsic and extrinsic) does not moderate the impact of psychological empowerment on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Extrinsic religiosity was found to have a negative insignificant moderating effect on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Research limitations/implications A cross-sectional study reveals the relationship between variables at one point in a time. As such this study may not precisely predict the dominant pattern of the association over time. Future research can use longitudinal study to establish a dominant pattern of relationships. Practical implications This study informs human resource practitioners and scholars by demonstrating that religiosity and job satisfaction are important factors that should be considered in managing and keeping employees engaged. Originality/value This study is among the first attempts to enrich the literature in the fields of psychological empowerment and employee engagement by highlighting organisational mechanisms that amplify the relationship.

    The role of technological innovation and cleaner energy towards the environment in ASEAN countries: proposing a policy for sustainable development goals
    ( 2022)
    Fengsheng Chien, Ching-Chi Hsu, Amena Sibghatullah, Vu Minh Hieu, Thi Thu Hien Phan & Nguyen Hoang Tien
    The association between economic growth (EG) and environmental degradation (ED) has been highlighted extensively in prior studies. However, investigation regarding ‘technological innovation and clean energy role’ in dealing with environmental concerns has comprised limited context while considering the ASEAN economies under sustainable development goals. Therefore, the study attempts to investigate the phenomenon by using CS-ARDL analysis under short as well as long run. The findings through CSARDL in long- and short-run indicate that REN have impact carbon emission and ecological footprints negatively. Additionally, the EG in targeted economies is causing a higher level of CE and ecological footprints. Whereas, GDP2ofund to be significant in lowering the ED in the form of CE and ecological footprints. It is suggested that policies related to CE through EG should be developed in order to control the environmental issues in the future.

    Banking financial performance is necessary for economic growth globally because the banking sector is the backbone of the economy. Recent economic uncertainty requires examining the banking sector's financial performance and improving accordingly. The present research, thereby, aims to scrutinize the influence of chief executive officers (CEO) incentives, corporate social responsibilities (CSR) such as social and environmental responsibilities, liquidity, and capital structure on the banking financial performance in ASEAN countries. Data from the hundred commercial banks (ten from each country) were taken in the time period of 2016-2020. Moreover, fixed effect model (FEM) was applied to test the association between the constructs. The findings revealed that the CEO incentives, social and environmental responsibilities, liquidity and capital structure are positively and significantly associated with banking financial performance in ASEAN countries. The regulators get help from the current study in formulating the regulation related to the banking sector performance by focusing on the CEO incentives and CSR responsibilities

    Due to its crucial role in sustainable development, the economic structure transformation has attracted much attention at both national and provincial levels. For various reasons, the importance of regional linkages, especially spatial interaction in economic structure transformation, is not recognized and thus ignored in economic policies. This study addresses this literature gap with an empirical analysis of taking Vietnam as the study area and examines the impact of spatial interaction with metropolises on the provinces' economic structure transformation. To evaluate the impacts, this paper used Moran I statistic based on the geographic information extracted from GADM (Database of Global Administrative Areas) and the data of economic structure in the period from 2015-2018, collected from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. The spatial panel data analysis is then performed to interpret spatial interaction influences on economic structure transformation extensively. The results show that the regional relationship can explain economic structure transformation by clustering economic activities in provinces. The spatial interaction with metropolises has positive effects on provinces' economic structure transformation. As such, stronger linkages with metropolises through investing in the transportation system, especially the infrastructure connecting areas, could also play a crucial role in reducing agricultural sector share in provinces' economic structure.

    This paper examines the turn-of-the-year (TOY) effect in fifteen Asia Pacific stock indices by using an updated dataset. The analysis utilizes the daily datasets spanning from 2000 to 2018. Applying the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (EGARCH) approach, the results of this paper suggest that the TOY effect becomes detectable again after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in developed markets with the tax year not ending in December. Furthermore, the magnitude of this anomaly diminishes in emerging markets after the GFC, which is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). The evidence of the leverage effect in the market volatility shows in negative shocks that it is considerably higher than that of positive shocks for all markets. This phenomenon is more evident in mature markets compared to emerging markets. The positive connection between the leverage effect and stock market volatility is seen with diminishing magnitude during the stable market condition after the GFC.

    Based on dynamic capability and contingency theory, authors examined the direct connection between Service innovation, Marketing innovation and Customer satisfaction, and the interacting mechanism of competitive intensity. The research model and hypotheses were developed from extant studies. Respondents from 300 microfinance banks participated in the survey. Analyses in Smart PLS software showed that Service innovation positively and significantly affects Customer satisfaction. Marketing innovation promotes customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the influence of Service and Marketing innovation on Customer satisfaction is greater in a competitive environment. Therefore, microfinance bank managers must continue to invest in innovation-related capabilities (service and marketing) to keep their customers satisfied. Theoretical and managerial contributions are highlighted in the study. JEL Classification: M10, M31

    Operational efficiency of an organization is considered to be a crucial element of any firm. The production of goods and services, their quality, marketing and profitability depend on the efficiency of business operations. Moreover, the reliance on operational efficiency is mostly associated with the industry 4.0 revolution and leadership support. Thus, the current research investigates the impact of the industry 4.0 revolution and leadership support on the operational efficiency management of the textile industry in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. The liquidity and capital structure have been used as the control variables. In the current article, researchers extracted the secondary data from the financial statements of the textile industry from 1991 to 2020. The researchers also applied the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to test the relationships among the constructs. The results revealed that the industry 4.0 revolution, leadership support, liquidity, and capital structure were positively associated with operational efficiency management of the textile industry in ASEAN countries. This study guides the regulators in establishing the policies related to operation efficiency management by focusing on the industry 4.0 revolution and leadership support.

    Kể từ khi lý thuyết về quản trị lần đầu tiên được giới thiệu bởi Taylor vào năm 1911 đến nay, các nhà khoa học cũng như các nhà quản trị đã thực hiện nhiều nghiên cứu khác nhằm giúp nâng cao kết quả làm việc của nhân viên. Các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến kết quả làm việc của nhân viên ban đầu được xác định là các yếu tố bên ngoài liên quan đến các phần thưởng, môi trường làm việc, kỹ thuật… Tuy nhiên, trường phái tâm lý xã hội trong quan trị đã xuất hiện và đề cao vai trò của sự thỏa mãn các nhu cầu cơ bản của người lao động cũng như các yếu tố về tâm lý. Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện nhằm kiểm định mối quan hệ giữa nguồn lực tâm lý, cam kết tình cảm và kết quả công việc của nhân viên văn phòng tại khu vực Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Với mẫu khảo sát là 304, sau khi phân tích EFA, CFA, SEM thu được kết quả như sau: có tác động dương giữa nguồn lực tâm lý và cam kết tình cảm, giữa nguồn lực tâm lý và kết quả công việc. Song nghiên cứu cũng phát hiện rằng nếu nguồn lực tâm lý tác động đồng thời đến cam kết tình cảm và kết quả công việc thì cam kết tình cảm lại không có tác động đến kết quả làm việc.

    ( 2022)
    Vu Minh Hieu & Nguyen Thai Hai
    Sustainable development goal (SDG) achievement has gained increasing trend due to the current economic uncertainty that demands the attention of scholars, practitioners, and regulators. Hence, the study examines the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibilities and economic development such as economic growth, net national income and FDI on the SDG achievements in BRICS countries. The secondary data is considered for the study which was collected from various resources like SDG reports published by the united nation and World Bank Indicators (WDI) from 1991 to 2020. The current research has checked them without structural breaks stationarity using Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Phillips–Perron (PP) test, and Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS), while stationarity with structural breaks has been examined using the ‘zivot-andrews’ test. The study also employed the ARDL technique to verify the association among the constructs. The findings revealed that ESG responsibilities, economic growth, net national income, FDI, and inflation positively correlate with SDG achievements in BRICS countries. This article provides help to the regulators while making policies related the SDG achievement.
